If you are currently running your XBOX 360 through a TV using the supplied RGB Cables then you are missing out on the power of the 360.
When I first bought mine in December 2005 I was using the supplied RGB Cables , this was o.k I was happy with the result , But I wanted desperately to try the HD modes .
I had visions of spending £600+ On a New Fangled HDTV from the local Argos Until I read that Literally any old PC monitor would run the XBOX 360 in HDTV mode with these cables !!!
I spent my hard earned cash on a set & hooked them up to my Relisys LCD TV ( P.C Monitor & TV all in one) Using the VGA Input . I went to the settings for the 360 & changed to it to 1360 x 768 .
The Difference was unbelievable !! , trust me you WILL NOT want to plug those old RGB cables in after this . Everything is much clearer , Crisper & better defined . Project Gotham Racing looks Awesome !!
So ...
If you have ANY P.C Monitor in the home & a set of old speakers (Unless you have a multimedia monitor with them built in ) Get these leads , Plug them in & ENJOY !!!

Those old cables (I assume you are talking about the cable from the core pack) aren't even RGB, its an even worse composite cable with a scart adapter. VGA does provide the best image and then component.
Advantages: Forget HDTV's, use your monitor instead Disadvantages: Analogue signal is slightly inferior to digital (not supported by standard 360 anyway)
