You can use any HDMI cable.

Yeah, I was totally confused before. I thought you needed that specific MS HDMI cable. From what I understand, you only need that cable to output audio to a separate sound source, such as a home theater system. I wouldn't, so just a plain old HDMI cable would do the trick for video.

Thanks Mood.

Any HDMI cable is fine. You can get one cheap online.

They should have at least let you choose to use the Makeo to explore the planet etc...

I really hope I can get this game early...if I can get it on the 20th I'd be so happy...

Just so you know, you really don't need that cable for anything. If you want to hook the 360 up to a receiver you just put an hdmi cable from the 360 to a receiver and then have an hdmi cable go from the receiver to the tv.

Re: Mass Effect 2

This game interests me. I played the first one and so did my brother, and we enjoyed it a lot. But my Xbox is kind of dying on me, and I don't know if it's really worth it to buy it risking my console breaking... I don't have the money to buy a new console, and I am already playing my brothers' PS3 more now.

Except for those of us that have pre-hdmi receivers

if your console breaks you just call 800-myxbox and get a new one. the most you'll have to do is mail away the old one and pay about 20 bucks.

Re: Mass Effect 2

Some fellow that's played the game at CES has reported only Sheppard wears armor. The other characters can't be equipped with armor,only weapons and have alterante outfits to unlock. He provided pics and a vid to prove he played it but that sounds ridiculous regardless especially with all the promo they're doing for armor stuff.

Re: Mass Effect 2

What promos have they done for customizing squadmate's armor? All they've talked about is how as Shepard you can customize your armor.

I'll be very disappointed if that's true. I love customizing my squad mates armor and weapons in the original Mass Effect, and I also enjoy doing it in Dragon Age. I really hope that's not the case.

From what I read it said that only Shepards armor is customizable (Like changing the colors of your armor and etc). Never read where you wouldnt be able to atleast change your armor and weapons for your AI squad mates.

I meant all the extra armor stuff,the pre-order,Dragon armor,Dr. Pepper thing,CE and only one person can wear it.

You CAN change weapons,not armor.

Will Download decisions carry over.....Yes but not in a main storyline affecting way, for example if you let the terrorist battarian go he may return *grinned*

What's the deal with my armor and my squadmates.....Well we've changed the inventory system so you now do everything from weapons lockers on your ship and throughout various places, this is also the same for armor, armor is now done in pieces, much like dragon age you have a helmet, chest piece shoulder arm and legs. each piece provides different bonuses as well as set bonuses so you can mix and match how you please, however you can only do this for you not your squad. you CAN however unlock alternate outfits for your squad you can equip them in, you CAN choose your squads weapon loadout however

Mineral collection quest will carry over, again not in a story affecting way but it will increase the minerals you start with for ship upgrades. I realize as i'm typing this i'm a moron for not asking about artifacts. sorry :/

the level 60 bonus is credits and mineral increase at start. it doesn't have to be level 60 their are bonuses for level 35 50 and 60. he would not clarify if that was the only bonuses.

their are 6 heavy weapons *as he counted 7 on his hand* he would not say what they were

The cerberus network card will be "revealed later"

and to clarify what he meant about paragon and renegade.......You no longer earn points by putting xp points into intimidate and charm. instead you increase your paragon or renegade level by actually choosing the options. you increase both in the same play through and even max out both with new game +

There it is. Looking at it again he might've phrased something wrong there but it sure sounds like there's no armor for your squad.
