hello everyone
i need some help
i have an xbox 360 which i got back in june
i was wondering, is the HDMI cable sold for the 360 compatible?
ive heard people say that it only works with elite, etc

anyone have this?
appreciate all teh help

 

u have to have a hdmi port, it mostly works in just the elite because only the elite had the hdmi ports, but i think around june or july premium 360s came with hdmi ports also.

 

Yeah I got a premium with HDMI. Personally I think the component comes out better, but maybe its just my TV.

 

The Halo Edition also has a HDMI port. I tried with the components and the HDMI, HDMI is much sharper I think. I have a 32" LCD

 

Not sure if the X360's sold in June came with the HDMI port.

Only way to know is to check the back of your X360 to see if you have an HDMI port. If you do, then you're golden. If not, then you do not have HDMI support...

 

all the premiums out now should have HDMI, unless you go to some store that still has stock of 360's from months and months ago. Now the real question is if your 360 is the one with the newer 65nm falcon chip to help prevent RRoD

 

Must be your TV.

 

MadCatz is coming out with an HDMI adapter for non-HDMI Xbox's soon. Details are sketchy tho.

 

MadCatz, aka the same company that built that useless-even-as-a-doorstop 360 cooling fan? No thanks....

 

Definitely your TV....

 

Probably just links audio and video together through a HDMI end for the TV. Doubt it does anything else.

 

i got some monster game cables
basically gold tipped components with optical audio
not bad for $50
now i can play my 360 in 720p

 

you could have just played it with the cables you had with your xbox.
if your tv has a vga port, you could have bought the vga cables, it puts out pretty good quality.

 

Monster cables

What a ripoff and you fell for it. Are you one of those people that get suckered into buying those $100 monster HDMI cables when the same exact thing can be had for $5?

Here’s the exact same thing for $10

they only output at 420p
those cables are at 720p

 

English much? are you saying that the cables I linked to or yours do 420p/720p? You do realize there's no such thing as 420p right? (SD is 480) and that all component cables do at least 720p

no wonder you spent $50 on monster components

 

the ones that came with the xbox go upto 720p, theres a day and night difference when you play on 480i and 720p.

 

lol sorry for my response above
i meant 480p
the best i got with the supplied cables was 480p
but with these cables the output is at 720p
the major improvement was in sound also
none of that A/V cable sh*t

 

Monoprice.com FTW. Monster cables are an absolute ripoff. If you think they look better, you're just trying to convince yourself because you paid 5x the price.

 

did you get the core system?
i forgot that core systems didnt come with rgb cables.

 

wow, I can't believe people are still buying Monster cables

Monoprice.com FTW....

 

I have like 3 sets of Monster HDMI cables going to my SIMA HDMI switcher.. Works perfect for me, but then again I didn't buy them

 

I ordered a 360 from buy.com which said hdmi in the product description, but I got one that didn't have an hdmi port. I found this out after I took it out of the box. I sure hope they don't charge me with extra fees to replace it.

 

I would call them to get a replacement. If their description said HDMI, then HDMI you should have got.

Or you could wrap your 360 in a towel and RROD it to get a new one from M$, but that just creates unnecessary amounts of work.
