You've managed to get me to buy GTA 4 and Soul Calibur IV with it.
You had me thinking I could just plug the HDMI cable my cable box uses to connect the 360 to my LCD TV.
You probably chuckled to yourself as I drove home from Best Buy.
You probably found it very amusing that with the HD AV cable that comes with the 360, has a connector that *just* big enough to keep my HDMI cable from plugging into the 360's HDMI port with it connected.
You're probably already counting the additional money I will need to spend on the official HDMI cable.
Well played, well played.

From the Book of Armaments, Maradon! did read;
The 360 Elite that I got comes with an official HDMI cable, and even it doesn't fit into the HDMI port at the same time as the multimedia connector.
Shenanigans. This must be a falsehood, sir.
(Translation: You've got to be fucking shitting me.)
Go ahead and laugh at me, but... the HDMI cable carries audio as well as video?
Such that, if I use the HDMI cable to plug it into my TV, which has it's own speakers, I don't need anything in the AV port?

Well, I just saved fifty dollars and a butter knife. Thank you.
You didn't laugh at me, though. I feel really foolish (even more so since I had HDMI and audio cables connected to my cable box), and as such I feel I deserve to be laughed at.

The "horizontal for better reliability" is an urban myth.
Mine is vertical after I took it around someone elses house and discovered I got far less disk read errors with it in that position with a lightly scratched game disc.

I forgot a comma - I meant to ask "Should I put it vertical, or leave it horizontal, for better reliability?"

It wasn't a myth with the PS2, though I keep mine horizontal due to cooling issues and space is not a factor for me. Also superstition.
and if I can get off of Vendetta Online long enough to do it. Kennatsu fucked around with this message on 08-09-2008 at 12:44 AM.

The only time you'd have to mod the cable is if you have an HDTV and an SD receiver, or an HD receiver with no HDMI.
Even then you'd only need to if your HDTV didn't have an audio out of it's own. On mine I run the HDMI cable to the TV then have an optical cable running from the TV to the SD receiver.
