- With the default standard quality component cables that come with the system, the HDMI Port is blocked off, making my $30 bucks wasted.



you ethier use hdmi or component not both so why would it matter if the component cable blocked the hdmi port.

i have had the new xbox since it came out and i can tell ya i love it best one ever made. it should have been made this way from the begaining. feel free to hit me up with any ?'s



Exactly what he said, your only using one or the other not both. But I did kinda feel stupid when I tried it.

yeah I know two or three people have complained about it, and two or three times I mentioned why I do it (I can tell how much I'm payed attention to :p) I hook up the component cable to the back of my xbox 360 and run the two audio wires into my surround system....Then I run the HDMI cord from the xbox 360 into my television.

A bad ass surround system is the point of hooking both of them up, at least it's the only way I been able to find.



Gotcha Kidd. That makes perfect sense.



Does it?! YOU UNDERSTAND YET?!?!?!?! LoL!

I like it, It is pretty useless to hook them both from the 360 into your television, but it was a pretty easy, cheap fix to me wanting to hear the bombs bust through the speakers and rattle through the subwoofer!....:):)

But to be honest, I don't really see a big difference between this console and the older ones, other then the design of it, and the "beep boop" when you turn it on, lol....The only reason I got it was I only paid $15 bucks out of pocket for the console :)

With the new xbox, there is a power port to plug Kinect into, whereas with the old xbox, you have to find an open outlet for it. Nothing special.

ACTUALLY there is a "specialized" port for kinect on the new 360 on the back, whereas on the old consoles your going to have to buy an additional adapter for kinect to work on an older 360 model---that is if you plan on purchasing it come November.
