HDMI on Xbox 360

Postby Sisco22 on Tue May 20, 2008 8:01 am

Hey guys,
I guess my xbox 360 is one of the ones that didn't come with HDMI on it. Is there a cable or something that can hook into the 360 to have HDMI?
thanks!

They make an adapter that goes from DVI to HDMI, and there is probably a cable like that too

I've seen one for the DVI to HDMI, but my 360 doesn't have DVI on it. :(

Some critics in the know say the cable you have (you do have the one that has like 5 colored plugs) is just as good as HDMI, so I don't know that you would notice a significant enough difference to justify spending another nearly $100.

well, the only think i was thinking was that if i did go HDMI, i would get 1080P out of it, since my tv supports it and if the game supports it. Like Assassins Creed does support it.

Then it may be worth it to you to spend the extra. You might check the return policy as well when and if you buy the conversion kit

You may want to read the reviews too for this before you buy it, just to make sure it is going to do what you expect it to do.......
