vga cables cost 40 dollars, interesting. actually it's more like xbox 360 premium $400 and HD-DVD $200, so it's the price of a high end PS3. Not very favorable to the Xbox. But I would still get the Xbox because I'm not forced to buy a Blu ray drive as well. I think a dedicated player is a much better idea than using game systems. (and DVD's are still good enough. I don't even have an HDTV, and a majority of Americans don't either.)
The X-Fi3 keeps with the company's commitment to audio fidelity, thanks to the apt-X codec, which supposedly offers audio quality similar to a wired connection when streaming. On that front, the device also handles FLAC files.
