    Xbox Pro HDMI?


    Just want to make sure that if I pick up the Xbox Pro Bundle that it has the HDMI input. The graph up at xbox.com seems to indicate you just have to buy the cable but I want to make sure the box itself has the HDMI capabilities before I dive in. Thanks.


    Edit: Nevermind I guess I should have done more research first, it was easy to find

      I just did too. It runs a lot quieter than my original system.

        Well I was fed up with my old premium system finally with the constant freezing and what not.. so I went and bought one of the 'arcade' versions today and it also had the HDMI plug on the back.

          Yeah, my old premium's drive sounded like a jet plane, and finally got the RROD...drive fixing costs like 100-150, so i just got an Arcade...it has the HDMI port (tho I'm just using the VGA cable I've had)

            Does the pro have an optical output to plug into my home theatre receiver or is just the HDMI port used for sound.

              Seymour, I believe that the component plug has a optical output out the back of the plug.

                So does it come with component cables?

                And I'm on my way out the door, but I don't think I found out if it came with an HDMI cable. (?)

                  blazer, I just looked at the arcade box I bought. It looks ike the pro does come with componet cables but not a hdmi cable.

                    So you can use the component (or VGA) cable's optical out, and also use a HDMI cable hooked to the tv instead? So you get HDMI to the TV and optical sound to the reciever...

                      Sounds good, thanks. My roommate is looking to get the Xbox 360 Pro (w/ extra controller and two free games) at Target (or was it Circuit City?) on Black Friday, and I just wasn't sure what it came with, because I would have looked to gotten him something else like HDMI or whatever.

                        I think you can do that. I am doing that exact thing on my ps3.

                          So I know I resurecting a really old thread but I guess my question fits into this thread enough not to start a whole new one:

                          How much of a difference does it make conecting the 360 with the HDMI cable vs. component?

                          I bought my 360 before they started making them with HDMI... do you guys think it would be worth selling my current 360 and buying a new one with the HDMI conection?

                            The only thing I ever noticed, was I had to turn the audio louder on my TV when connected with component. Picture quality was the same with both. Granted my TV only supports up to 1080i and is 42inches. Larger screens and 1080p might make a slight difference.

                              HDMI looks way better on my arcade than with component on my 1080p LCD

                              Much sharper I'd say picture and color
