For those with HDTVs that can accept 1080p over VGA or component, yeah its a complete waste.

There's no way the picture will look better with this addon if your TV can already accept 1080p over component. ]]>Dec 19th 2007 7:44PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/
If this takes the VGA out and converts it to HDMI, then it is worth it (if your TV doesn't have VGA in)

For those who don't know: the VGA output of the XBOX 360 is way, Way, WAY better quality than component out... if you haven't seen it on VGA, you have not seen it's full graphic potential]]>Dec 19th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 7:29PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 8:21PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/
I know some of you disagree that there's a difference, and I can only assume that's because your displays, for whatever reason, has much better component processors or something. For me it was an obvious difference, and I would suggest anyone who has a VGA input on their display to give it a try.

This MadCatz adapter, IMO, has to be a VGA to HDMI converter or something. I just don't think the plug on the back of a standard 360 outputs a digital signal. I would definitely wait for some image quality reviews before buying this thing.]]>Dec 20th 2007 11:20AMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/• Convenient right-out-of-the-box
• Everything included inside – just plug and play

So in other words for about the same price as your average HDMI cable from Monster you get:
- a converter
- an HDMI cable
- an optical audio cable

Sure you can purchase HDMI cables cheap on line, but walk into a bestbuy and about the only thing on the self is premium Monster cables.]]>Dec 19th 2007 7:12PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 7:16PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 7:27PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 7:41PMhttp://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/http://www.engadget.com/2007/12/19/madcatzs-xbox-360-hdmi-conversion-kit-up-for-pre-order/Dec 19th 2007 7:45PM
