to improve my video quality can i... plug my xbox 360 into my vcr using the regular composite, then get an s-video cable and connect my vcr to my tv using the s-video. im hoping this will improve the quility of my games. i know it will help my movies but what about my games

Somehow I doubt that... But I believe they make a S-video cable for the 360? Not sure on that.

That would (very slightly) degrade the quality if anything. Certainly not improve it. S-video is balls. It's no better than composite.

I can't see that working. The signal coming out of your xbox is SD going through composite. It's not going to magically be improved by going through a VCR S-video out unless it's some sort of special VCR that does AA or special filters or something. Just buy an S-video cable for the 360 like the others have suggested.
