    If I am reading all this correctly this means that any HDMI cable will suffice, I dont have to spend the M$ on their cable for the 360 as it is just a slot to slot deal, no special connector in the back?

    I am upgrading my TV as well so I will have multiple HDMI slots instead of the single one I have had for ages for the DirecTV. Just making sure before I try and find the M$ HDMI Cable that if I dont need it I wont purchase it.
    Here you go. 6ft. HDMI cable for less than $4 shipped. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listi...&condition=new

          You can buy just about any cable, when I bought mine they were out of everything but the 24 AWG flat at the length I wanted (when I hung my TV on the wall upstairs I ran cables for every output through the wall).

            IMO, get something at least 6ft. in length. Since HDMI is a digital signal, it's all or nothing. Standard or premium shouldn't make a difference, especially over short distances.

            Any of these should work: http://www.monoprice.com/products/su...02&cp_id=10240

                HDMI = 1080p

                Component = NO 1080p

                That's the difference.

                Also HDMI is digital video and audio within a single connection. Component is video only with the red, blue, green connection. You need red/white rca cables or a digital optical or coax cable for audio with component.

                  Component cables could handle 1080p but is restricted to a max of 1080i.

                  Only way to get 1080p resolution on the 360 is through HDMI or VGA.

                        I got an HDMI 8 ft vizio 2 pack, flat cables for a total of 20 bucks at costco, plugged them in on my 26 LCD insignia, and they made the picture a decent amount better than the Components.

                        I could see the little details on NCAA and it was just beautiful.

                        Im glad I made the purchase because it was an AMAZING deal.

                        IMO, I take HDMI over component, any day.

                          Same here. Got a 55' Toshiba Regza hooked to my new black 250 gig XBox. HDMI cable made it look fantastic versus having the component cables used on old Xbox 360. It looked like a PC game.
