XBOX360 owner clubhouse, come on in ;)

A quick question.
Right now i have just the regular RCA hookup i guess u would say, being that for picture i have only the yellow-tipped and grey plug, and for audio the solid white one.. And when i got to my 360 settings its says its running 480p i believe. I can deal with this quality until i get an HDTV, but is there any converter than will give me better quality like AZN is talkin about, because i don't wanna wait until i get the money for a new TV, that could take a while.. Remember i only have the vid, and audio port, (2) only.

thanks for any help.

You can buy the VGA cable, and hook it up to your computer monitor

Like Wile E said, you could get a VGA cable and plug it into your monitor, but then you will have to find a way to get sound

Im using an S-Video cable at the moment on my Sony Wega 32" CRT TV and the picture is great (Ive had a few friends with HDTV's come round to my house and they are amazed at how good it actually looks)

For now, if your TV supports it, grab an S-Video cable (like this one: http://cgi.ebay.com/New-S-Video-AV-...159628919QQcmdZViewItem?hash=item230159628919), you will see a big improvement over what your using now (composite...which is terrible )

There's audio outputs on the vga. Just hook em up to a reciever, or a set of powered speakers.

 

[spy2520]

i tell you, HDMI is the shit. i love it. i think it makes even regular DVDs look pretty damn good.

i cant wait to get another Elite. and the price just dropped.

Yeah thats what I meant. The VGA comes with Left & Right phono jacks but if your monitor doesnt have audio inputs your screwed (unless, obviously, you have all your audio equipment next to your PC, unlike myself)

Do you use XBOX LIVE a lot (ie downloadable content etc), if not you dont really need the 120GB HDD, why not save some cash and get the new Premium system that comes with an HDMI port (or do you like the Elite because its black?)

 

[spy2520]

definitely because its black lol. but i download alot of the HD trailers and game videos and shit like that so its kinda worth it to have the extra space. 20gb just seems pitiful to me.

you know once you go black you never go back....

Just buy a cheapo set of computer speakers, then use a mini-jack to rca converter cable.

PERIPHERALS/ACCESSORIES: Wireless controller x2, Play and Charge kit, Vision Camera, headset, 20GB HDD, Gears of Wars Stickers on my 360 if that counts!

LIVE GAMER TAG: MilkyWay

GAMES OWNED: COD 3, PGR 3, Rainbow 6 Vegas, Forza 2, Smackdown vs Raw 07, Halo2,

MOST ANTICIPATED GAME(S): Bioshock (damn it looks way better than GTA 4)/ PGA tour 08 to use Camera on to make myself in game


A solution to many peoples problems would be to buy a VGA cable but why not just get a Premium with the HDMI i mean the money you save from Elite can get you more games.

I might make Soundwave my pic or even Devestator lol

Hey Hookey, I "borrowed" your sig.....

 

[savillm]

im thinking of getting one of these are they any good?

I'd pass on it. There have been claims that it actually kills 360s faster, because it robs power directly from the psu. Not worth the risk, imho.

I agree with Wile E, those things kill your system, not protect it

Dont worry about extra cooling Mark, is it dies, it dies, get MS to fix it for free.

TBH, an 'old' 360 dying (3 red lights) is the best thing that can happen to it....because when it comes back, its better then it was when it was new (ie new heatsink design put in etc etc)

 

[savillm]

ok thx for the advise ill keep well clear from that thing lol

 

[HookeyStreet]

Hey Hookey, I "borrowed" your sig.....

Cool, help yourself

 

[MilkyWay]

they should have made a cooling product that isnt powered by usb or the actual psu, they should have an external conector that way there is not any power being taken from 360 uting strain on it and that way you can have as powerfull a fan u could need. either that or get it killed by leaving it in a small area and over heat or if i left it on in my tv stand that closes up and heats up badly i could send it away and get brand new cooling.

Yeah, these add-on coolers should come with their own mains adapter, that would be
