 Screwed for more money February 3, 2008
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I own a DLP tv that only accepts 1080p resolution through the HDMI. My current XBOX is a 2006 model, and I use componenet cable for video and optical for my surround sound system (which doenst do 1080p pass through).
I just went out and bought a new xbox with an HDMI port so I could get the most out of my TV....and to my surprise, the old VGA adaptor DOESNT FIT WHEN YOU HAVE THE HDMI CABLE PLUGGED IN.
Essentially this accessory has a smaller housing input, so you can hook up the HDMI for video and the VGA for audio.
It works just fine, but it would have been nice if MSFT didnt try to screw people out of more money...
 Works just as it should January 29, 2008
Not much to say here. The HDMI cable works just like it should, with no problems. It sends a beautiful 1080p signal with audio to my TV. I did not use the separate audio cable, but I assume it would also work as expected. It has left/right RCA outputs as well as an optical digital output to connect to a home theater receiver. An excellent package to make use of the HDMI output on your Xbox 360.
Necessary for Surround Sound January 23, 2008

To clarify and hopefully help some of you; from what I understand, the Xbox HDMI only supports 2-channel PCM audio over HDMI. Also, if your tv happens to have an optical output, it most likely only outputs 2 channels and not 5.1. It is therefore that microsoft includes the adapter in this package so that you can get 5.1 true the optical output. There is a hack you can do if you have a component cable, however, leaving the metal part exposed, increases the chance of a short circuit. In short, if you'd like to have Surround sound, you may need this, else, you don't need the adapter and are better off buying a cheap $5 HDMI cable.
It is unfortunate that MSFT didn't build this into the system and is charging this much for it.
Edit: As T Berry clarifies in his comment, you can get 5.1 through the HDMI cable if you have a reciever that supports hdmi (which I don't) and go from there to your tv. This cable is needed if you need optical audio. The xbox supports HDMI 1.2 and not 1.3 and so you cannot get Dolby TrueHD and DTS-HD Master Audio streams through HDMI (if that's important to you).
 Xbox 360 HDMI AV Cable January 18, 2008

We purchased this cable to upgrade our very basic Xbox 360 to maximize the audio and video quality on our new 55" Plasma TV. Unfortunately, the Xbox doesn't have a place to plug the cable in so we haven't been able to use it.
Excellent quality, worth every penny January 4, 2008

I recently purcahsed this cable elsewhere, not through amazon but liked it so much I felt compelled to write a meaningful review about this product due to the overwhelming lack of accurate and worthwhile information. With that being said this cable performs exactly as well as a PS3 HDMI 1.3 cable, and the picture (perhaps it is a bit of a placebo effect but I swear I can tell a difference).I watch HD-DVD's on a 52" DLP that I utilize my premium 360 with the zephyr motherboard (with HDMI for those who are obtuse). The sound quality is amazing, the picture quality is exactly the same if not better than the other cables i have used. why that is? I have no idea, because it really shouldnt matter, my only guess is that maybe the shielding is better from Microsoft, or its an evil plot from Microsoft that other brand cables will look slightly lower in quality.... I jest, but in actuality, this fits my needs as I put a THX fiber optic monster cable from that output to my Sony home theater system. My one word to describe gameplay AND HD-DVD'S: BREATHLESS
