xbox 360 and hdmi?
 

how do you connect your xbox 360 via HDMI when there isn't an HDMI port on the console?

get one that does have HDMI. All the ones made in the last 2 years have it.

lol........

oh is that it? the newer ones have it built in?

i bought mines about 4 years ago when it first came out. no standard hdmi ports. would be kinda stupid to buy another one just to use the HDMI feature. there has to be some kind of adapter

yeah "newer" ones as in the last 2 1/2 years or so maybe. You can get an Arcade version for $200. I'm surprised your 360 hasn't died yet.

I roll with an hdmi on my plasma, its well worth buying a new one.

btw, here ya go

A) it's mad catz which to me means cheap breakable crap.

B) it's almost $100.

C) I doubt it outputs like a true HMDI port would

ya, I would much rather just get the arcade version of the console, slap in the hdd of my old 360 and have a real hdmi port. Like you said, I highly doubt it outputs true hdmi. Waste of money in my opinion.

i actually had the three-red-ring-of-doom and they sent me another console about a year ago, but same model (no hdmi)

yep agree on all points. I figured it was cheaper than buying a new xbox though.

:2 cents::2 cents:

what is an arcade xbox now? 200? Its cheaper to buy that yes but almost half of a new xbox.

yeah but for an extra $100 a true HDMI port and a 1 year full warranty. Not to mention another controller.

mine had an HDMI port built it

(also came with hdmi cables)

Do you guys notice a big difference with the HDMI ports used instead? My TV only has two HDMI ports that are both being used by other devices.

they probably sent you back an older model refurbished one which WILL get the RROD again. Of course, prior to 2007 only the xbox 360 elite had an hdmi port. Shortly after that the arcade, pro etc.. all had an hdmi port. So chances are you got one from 2007 that was refurbished. I sent my 360 in a little over a week ago due to the RROD and when I get it back and I see no hdmi port on it I will know that they sent me a much older version of the console.

If they were smart and wanted to save the company some $ they would send a NEW one instead of an old refurbished one that WILL get the RROD again and cost MS even more $. Every time a person gets another 360 back from them after the RROD they get another 1 year warranty (3 years for the RROD) so why the hell keep sending ones that they know will get that again?

the xbox 360 elite is the only one with hdmi port

not anymore.. Now they all have an hdmi port.

the arcade version.. no hdd.. https://youtube.com/watch?v=0d_q-azNTcI
