Major Harris Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 My wife got me one for xmas, only the 20 gigs but still I am happy.Quick question, does the hdmi cable make a difference or not? I have the HD cables that came with it and it is pretty sweet. unless you're using your xbox for things other than gaming, 20 gigs is more than enough. what games do you have? i'd love to whoop your ass at something other than the internets.

Touchdown Redskins Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 IT has HDMI and came with the component cables i am thinking of getting the hdmi cables but not certain yet Althought it depends on your TV, I've noticed a difference between the component cables and the HDMI. It's a small difference, but it's worth it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So I'm guessing the other two HDMI slots are in use already. How can you get another slot with an adaptor? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How can you get another slot with an adaptor? correct, one of those multiple hdmi adaptors i meant, so i can have more or i can just change out the cable with the xbox for now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Us old-timers who bought our consoles two years ago have just component. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DariusCyrus Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 First person shooters, driving, flying - every home should have at least one xbox 360.In our house, other than for football, TV comes a poor second to the internets and gaming. if you like 1st person shooters, driving and flying... get Warhawk for PS3.. all three comes inside one game :thumbsup: and anyone who doesn't have one... get a PS3 :thumbsup: .. Call Of Duty 4 looks better and plays the same on PS3 :thumbsup: oh yeah, then get Uncharted: Drakes Fortune... awesome game :thumbsup: and free online :thumbsup: :thumbsup: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Touchdown Redskins Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 correct, one of those multiple hdmi adaptors i meant, so i can have moreor i can just change out the cable with the xbox for now Oh okay. Is that like those video game adapters that allow you to switch between multiple systems, except this one has HDMI input/output as opposed to component input/output?

jbooma Posted December 26, 2007 Share Posted December 26, 2007 Oh okay. Is that like those video game adapters that allow you to switch between multiple systems, except this one has HDMI input/output as opposed to component input/output? i think adaptor is the wrong word, it is an hdmi selector, so i can have up to 4 hdmi inputs into my tv i saw one at best buy for 199, going to wait to the drop in price since the hd component cable is nice sweet found some on amazon for just $60!!!

DCranon21 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 What is the best place to get an XBOX 360 Premium for as cheap as possible? Any ideas? Might want to check EBGames or GameStop. I wouldn't recommed it, but they have refurbished ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
squatch66 Posted December 30, 2007 Author Share Posted December 30, 2007 the thing that sucks about refurbished is they give you a crap warranty. i dont know about whether the warranty for the red rings still covers refurbished units. but they are starting to package two games with the xbox now so you cant really beat $349 considering you would be paying over $100 for the two games separately.

jbooma Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 Regarding HDMI cables, you only need basic HDMI cables to work. It makes a huge difference I was lucky I found some cables that were for the elite machine for about $30 and i do not have an elite machine.

Sticksboi05 Posted December 30, 2007 Share Posted December 30, 2007 The quality is the same...Paying more than $5 without shipping is getting ripped off unless you need a really long one. $30 wow you got ripped off. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
iMeast Posted January 2, 2008 Share Posted January 2, 2008 Those intercooler things aren't the best idea. Some of the ones that plug into the back of the 360 actually cause malfunctions that are not covered under warranty. Read Amazon Reviews before you buy.
