Take it you have one of the more recent xbox's with hdmi?

If both have hdmi then yes you can just plug and play.

He's asking if your xbox has a HDMI port. Newer one's do, they just don't come with the lead like the elite.

Well, if it doesn't then you can't. Simple as.

If it does, then you need to check your monitor/tv has a HDMI port.

If both have HDMI ports, then just buy the cable and you're away. The difference is marginal.

If you do that your going to need a sound system that can connect to the 360's firewire port.

Wrong end of the stick or what... You're the one who's "confused" mate.

The difference between using the normal cables and a HDMI lead is marginal. Not the difference between HD and a normal TV. I'm not a fuckin brain-dead stupid ass I've had a 360 with HD for ages, it's not new to me
