Title: xbox360 + hdmi Post by: Uisce Beatha on December 28, 2008, 11:37:52 AM Let's get this out of the way first... yes, I bought Microsoft. Thing is, got a 60GB for $150 plus an extra controller, play and charge kit, something else for an additional $50. Tough to turn down plus I didn't have to figure out how to talk the wife into letting the boy have a new 10/22 for Christmas.
So here's the question. Does a standard HDMI cable work on the 360? I've read a bunch of threads out there and I know there are spacing issues given the proximity of the ports on the unit itself. But I *think* I'm gathering that's only a problem if you're trying to run HDMI video and optical audio. I sure as hell don't want to buy a M$ HDMI cable for $50 if a $15 Monoprice cable will suffice. Anyone? Title: Re: xbox360 + hdmi Post by: Aske on December 28, 2008, 11:50:14 AM monoprice model plugged into mine
