Are there component cables and can someone point me in a direction of where I should be looking? --- End quote --- Not only are there... XBOX in HD is glorious to behold. Most XBOX haters don't realize nearly every cross platform game released that hit xbox came out in higher resolution and faster framerate for the XBOX. Burnout, Soul Calibur, etc, were all superior graphically on the xbox... If you played with this: http://www.amazon.com/Microsoft-XBox-High-Definition-AV-Pack/dp/B00005R6YZ Most games were 480p but quite a few (DOA Ultimate and several others) were 720p. A few puzzle games were even 1080p. Lot of games (again burnout) feature Dolby Digital 5.1 surround support. This is a very under-appreciated aspect of this console. Also worth noting. If it's soft modded you could emulate games in 720p as well. Update: Ha! Missed your reply Byron! Good stuff! |

Ive heard of people modding an Xbox ... I have an original with one of those weird HD connectors that I never use. Maybe this would make the system worth using for me. Is there a decent program set up for modding it? Im not very technical when it comes to stuff like that so would need some assistance! |

After doing this you can upload XBMC and dump movies, music, emulators, roms and other cool stuff on your XBOX. I've been putting it off, but I am going to turn one of my spare XBOX consoles into a mini-MAME doing this. |
