Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable

Advantages: Better Clarity to visuals
Disadvantages: Some old Xbox games wont run via this cable

...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...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 VGA HD AV Cable Game console link cable

Great quality HD cable for monitors

Advantages: Forget HDTV's, use your monitor instead
Disadvantages: Analogue signal is slightly inferior to digital (not supported by standard 360 anyway)

...There is a reason this cable is more expensive than other brands, and is out of stock often; it is quite simply a superior product. This official Microsoft cable won't cause loss of true colours and will produce a brilliant picture on an LCD/CRT PC monitor or an HDTV. Third Party versions of this cable are prone to interference from lights, PC's, the Xbox itself etc., colour loss and loss of quality. They are completely unshielded from these kinds of interference, and are comparable to the array of iPod docking stations with 'tinny' speakers and a poorly constructed plastic feel. Microsoft have produced a high quality product here, and this justifies the extra few pounds. But onto the product's features. Why use a VGA cable you may ask? The VGA interface will allow you to output a high definition video signal to a TV with a VGA...

Advantages: Cheaper setup than PS3, better pad, best game selection, xbox live is amazing
Disadvantages: Paying for xbox live (after 3years of live, a PS3 works out cheaper), can be noisey, Wi-Fi is extr

...'t anyone else?), but the D is the part you are least likely to use, everything else on it is perfect! Take note Sony & sort the analoge thumbsticks (wrong place for the left thumb & they should be concave!) & the slippy triggers! Connecting it to the tv, ok, it comes with the SD connections we have all come to know & component (most TV's wont accept 1080P thru component) but we got a full HD system, so we need HD connections! If you were feeling flush & wen't for the elite model, then you're sorted, microsoft HDMI is included, if like me, you went for the 20GigHDD model, then you need to get your hands on an HDMI, great if your amp takes an HDMI, mine doesn't, still in the days of fibre optics here, only way you can have HDMI & optic out, is to either buy the Microsoft cable (Pricey?), or be a little sneaky, prise open the connection @ the 360...

Xbox 360

Advantages: Great graphics and Gameplay
Disadvantages: Not as good as a Wii for family play.

...Being a playstation boy I've never bothered with the Xbox, however through boredom and impulse I found myself buying an Xbox 360 one day. To coin a Carlsberg phrase, the 360 is probably the best console around. The graphics are second to none and until sony can get to grip with what they really want out of the PS3 the 360 will remain streets ahead. It is available from around £180 upwards depending on system and game bundles you purchase with it with again leaves it extremely better priced than the PS3. The controller whilst more bulky than sony controllers fits nicely in the hand and the rechargeable battery pack is a must get addition. I would say however that although there is a great variety of games available for the Xbox 360 it is undoubtedly at its greatest when playing shoot 'em up's, games such as Halo 3 and Gears...

Xbox 360 - Review

Advantages: Fantastic graphical capability, Support for wireless controllers, looks sleek and sexy
Disadvantages: The Power Brick is well...A Brick, Noisy, Gets very hot.

...and are extremely smooth on a SDTV. Now, If you have a SDTV I recommend the Official Xbox 360 Advanced SCART Cable which will improve your 360s graphical performance on an SDTV and for just £17.99 is well worth it though you may feel that after forking out £279.99 or £199.99 respectivly that it should have perhaps been issued as standard. Trust me though, the 360 looks superb whatever TV you hook it up to, HD or SD! Core or Premium? Which bundle should I choose? PREMIUM!!! I cannot stress enough that the premium is the bundle to go for! The extra £80 is well worth it in the long run and will save you alot of hassle in the long run. Why I hear you ask, well here is why: Included in the Core pack you have: 1 Xbox 360 Console 1 WIRED gamepad 1 Composite AV cable (Meaning if you have an HDTV all games will run at Standard definition...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

XBOX 360

Advantages: Graphics, controllers, games, media storage
Disadvantages: No HDMI cable (although HDMI connectivity)

...The Xbox has been the best system you can buy for about four years, now they have finally come out with the new Xbox 360 witch produces much better graphics. The reason the Xbox was the best was because it can do a lot more than their competitors who created the Playstation 2. The Xbox produces way better graphics, you can download music onto it, it comes with a hard drive built in, you can have four players at once and with the PS2 you can only have two. The Xbox and the PS2 are even the same price, and the PS2 comes out costing more because you have to buy a memory card or you won't be able to save. Memory cards for the PS2 are about twenty dollars. In my opinion I thought that the Xbox controller was a lot better too. It fits into my hands perfectly and is just so much easier to use than the PS2's controller. There are more...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360 Elite

360% below xboxtations

Advantages: Reasonable price
Disadvantages: freezes, glitches, crashes, noisey, overheats, poor choice of games

...I am a keen gamer, and wanting to keep up with technology- decided to get an HD TV, and a new generation console. The choices before me were: Nintendo wii, Xbox 360 and (although not out at the time) a ps3. I thought the wii was a great gimmick- having the motion style controllers- but felt as I have back and shoulder trouble- it would just end up causing me pain- and rather than sitting down to relax- and play a good game- I'd be forced to move about- when I just want to relax. The ps3 wasn't out yet, and was way too over-priced for my budget. So I went with the Xbox 360- especially as it was already more established than the others, having been out for quite a long time- about a year when I bought it. We were told that you don't have to have an HD TV, and when we bought the Xbox 360 - we hadn't yet had the HD TV delivered. We are...

the xbox 360

Advantages: amazing graphics and has many features
Disadvantages: size and weight

...First hearing about the new xbox 360 coming out, i was utterly stunned at how microsoft could improve and produce a new xbox, better than the previous model they put on our shelves. The new slick curvey design that micro soft had intergrated into the new 360 makes the hole machine alot more cooler and represents itself in a hole new way of attracting attention from customers willing to pay the prices that the xbox was being sold at. The xbox 360 itself has got great visual aspects and the graphics i think are superb...a great improvement from the 1st xbox. Every game i play on the 360 really looks so life like, for example project gotham racing and test drive unlimited which are both driving simulation games have fantastic graphics with great detail right through to every car you drave and every track you choose upon to drive on...

Review of Microsoft Xbox 360

The XBOX 360 games are supposed to look this way!

Advantages: The games look FANTASTIC, HD For ALL!
Disadvantages: None, seriously, get one!

...I have had my XBOX 360 now for about 3 Months, and have been blown away by the great games, and also the great Media Center abilities of this console. But, I have been playing it through my old 51cm TV with the normal component cables. I thought the games looked pretty good compared to other consoles......and then I bought this puppy, wow, what a revelation. I scrapped the TV for an old computer monitor, a Sony 21" Flat CRT that I got for next to nothing from a second hand dealer and hooked up the cable....I could not believe the difference, the resolution is increased 10 fold, the images are no longer grainy, the lighting effects are crisp and sharp, just by installing this simple cable to my old VGA monitor, I have increased my gaming pleasure by a factor of a 100, not to mention that my playing time has increased as my eyes do not...
