If it's an older Xbox 360 it won't have an HDMI port, so no.

I think.

However, http://www.tweaktown.com/news/8123/index.html may be what you're looking for (once they're making it, anyway)

There's a port on the cable?

Either :-
i) English fail.
ii) You smoke some good shit and I want some.
iii) You have access to some hitherto unknown technology and I'd really like to see a photo of it.

AFAIK only the Elite 360 comes with an HDMI cable port. The other versions use either component cables or shitty scart.

I don't know about over there, but 360 Premiums here are now equipped with HDMI ports. Still only have the 20GB drives though.

Mine doesn't, and it's only a few months old. Just the normal port with a cable with a switch on it for normal/HDTV, outlets are all phono plugs.

I might get a VGA cable and connect it to my PC monitor, depending where everything ends up in my current redesign of my house - I feel a bit disconnected playing console games at the moment - which is where I've been in the evenings for the last few weeks.

Word is, the hdmi port is going to turn up for all except a run of core systems with the older compomnent/scart setup. But of course, that could be crap, I've not seen anything official.

They seem to be keeping the non-elites going at more attractive price-points, a core's the same as the Wii now (lol Sony).

While I'm a bit sad I got one before the elites were around, I'm really only that bothered about the disk size - want the add-on disk now pls.

That's easily fixable if you buy the right sort of laptop drive and lightly hack it.

I use a VGA cable for my HD. Obviously your TV will need to have a VGA port and it doesn't do the sound.
