might be a little better but most likely you won't be able to see a difference. Save your money, those things are way over priced.

No difference between MS and Monster. Those that tell you there are, are seeing things to justify their crazy purchase.

You can try VGA if you like.

Imo VGA is definitely the way to go. The picture is sharper, and the washed-out color issues some complained about were fixed by last fall's XBL system update. Also, the VGA cable (assuming you go to XBL and download the system update) allows the 360 to upconvert standard DVD's to match the 360's output (in my case, 720p). It doesn't look quite as nice as true HD-DVD but it's a vast improvement over 480p, which is the best the 360 can do when playing DVD's over component cables.
