no HDMI port wtf!!???

ok so i bought a hdmi cable to hook up my xbox 360 to my tv only there isnt anyHDMI port on the 360 which makes no sense. I see elite ones do but they come with a hdmi cable so why do they sell them seperately for non elite xbox 360's. am i missing something here?

I'm pretty sure that new premiums come with an HDMI port also, and maybe even the arcade ones.bessy67

Yeah the arcade system comes with an HDMI port. No HDMI cable though.

Hahaha Bgrngod is that your setup? If so it's crazyMKoWnZ

Yes it is. I need to update the sig though. That picture is about 6 months ago if I remember correctly.

yeah im sure its the pro and arcade that have the hdmi port, see they changed the name recently rebranding core to arcade and including memory card too, and premium to pro. they definetally have the hdmi port so do the elite.

not sure if the last of the core and premium have the hdmi ports or if they change in the name was do to do with the slight design change.

if it was me and i balsed up and ya aint really used the console etc then take it back to the shop and ask for a swap to a new system with hdmi. sure its staturay rights that if swapped within 30 days (in uk anyways) ya entitled to full refund or at least credit note refund as long as u aint used the kit to the level where it cant be classed as new anymore.

as for vga vs hdmi or component. depends on ur tv, every hd tv is different and which it displays best at what res depends on the tv. ya can get advice off people but best to get advice based with people using the same tv i reckon. as i know some peoples dont do vga as good as the other options but know people whos vga look better

do all the elites have them?socem007

Xbox 360 does NOT have HDMI capabilities, get over it. If you want true high definition and hdmi capabilities buy a playstation 3.HollisterGuy707

All new Xbox 360 consoles come with a HDMI port. Its a standard.

thats not true at all. With an HDMi 360 and a 1080P TV there is a huge difference than using componets seeing as most TVs do not allow you to get a 1080P signal through compnents.FUBAR24

Forget about HDMI and just go VGA or Component. Depending on your TV HDMI may be a downgrade in quality anyways.Bgrngod

HDMI contains a DVI signal, so it's likely to be an upgrade compared to component.

HD-DVDs use 1080P and there are an increasing number of games with support for 1080P

HDMI contains a DVI signal, so it's likely to be an upgrade compared to component.

A DVI signal is just a digital signal. HDMI basically takes the exact signal thatDVI has and puts digital sound on it as well. It is a myth that a pure digital signal is going to be superior to analog from component all the time. Sometimes it is, and just as often it isn't. Regardless of what the manufacturers would have you believe, digital signals still go through encoding and conversion, similar to analog signals (component) they also suffer some quality loss. Infact, component often results in an image that went through less conversion then some digital signals do.
