can 1080p only be played with HDMI

Im gettin a new 1080p flatscreen LCD this week and wanna use my 360 on it but for 1080p is it required u have hdmi cables

thanks

for 1080p it IS required that you have an HDMI cable (along with a 1080p enabled game, some arent). It is true the diffrence between the 1080i or 720p may be negligible. But if I wanted everything out of my electronics I would spring for it. BTW you dont have to buy an XBOX cable unless you need the audio breakout if you need the audio to hook into something else. Go to Costco or something and buy a generic one. There is no diffrence between the cheapest brand and the most expensive, its all digital it will work the same. Coleman85

No it IS NOT required for 1080p. I have just the component cables and can get 1080p just fine with them. HDMI is to component like what S-Video was to the AV cables, a more convenient way (and slightly better quality) to connect picture and sound through one cable.
