Xbox 360 News: MS ups the ante for the holiday season

[Ranger REG]

You mean a computer monitor?

I have a 19" lcd, but no hdmi; only dvi.

Isn't there a hdmi-to-dvi adapter you can get from say Radio Shack?

Any chance the price of hdmi cables will also drop along with HD TV's price?

I don't know about prices at retail stores, but every report I've seen says the cheap cables from monoprice.com work just fine (and you can find relatively inexpensive cables at Amazon, for that matter). I've got a 360 Elite, so it came with an HDMI cable, otherwise I may well have tested this myself.

Monoprice is where I picked up the HDMI cable for my PS3 earlier this month. It was $7 after shipping and works great.

PS3 didn't come with an HDMI cable? You would think that with the $400 price tag it would be part of the package.

If it came with a cable, how could they charge you $60 for the Official Playstation 3 HDMI Cable? Pshaw!

Replacement.

HDMI cables are already cheap and plenty affordable. No need to buy a premium HDMI cable for any system.

 

[Felon]

Well, there's rarely a need to buy a "premium" anything. It's a luxury. That's what makes it premium!

Ever post in a thread you don't remember starting?

Wait. I will need a separate audio cable, too, right?

It seems the price of lcds is pretty low right now. I still get the feeling that for only a little bit more you can get a much larger TV (22" versus 32", for example); decisions, decisions.
