At the price this is offered, you can sell your old Xbox 360 and buy a new Arcade that DOES have an HDMI port, all for less. Don't do it. And you get to skip entirely past all these ridiculous extra fixes. Don't waste your money. Unless this thing drops to $80 or less, it's a waste of your money. Don't buy it.
ITs funny because you can pick this up for like 50$and this is priced USED at over three times that.whoever is trying to sell this really needs a sucker.Try 25$ next time.
Like many people said, it does blast some of the whites kind of bright, and even the instruction sheet mentions you may need to turn down your brightness on the TV. I was nervous about spending $75 for this instead of forking up the $200 for an Xbox 360 Arcade unit to replace my older one with for the HDMI port. I kicked my brightness down by 4 clicks, and it is fantastic. My TV only supported 1080i through component, and with the new Octava HDMI/Toslink switch box i had bought, HDMI was a must for my Xbox. I hooked everything up last night, and the converter works just fine. Games are now coming through at 1080p instead of 1080i, and the toslink connector on the converter is working just fine, it passed through to my switch box and then to my surround sound with no sound issues in 5.1 digital. I don't have the HD-DVD add-on, but for games, works like a champ.
No problems with the seller or anything like that, mad catz just sucks. The image quality after using this part is a little bit better. All in all, just get an xbox with a real hdmi port.
When I have it in 1080i it looks awesome. The one that comes with it is very short. I think the only thing I would recommend would be to get a better quality HDMI Cable. So I would reccommend the product if your XBox works well. I have a 40" Plasma I'm running it to (Probably better to use an LCD) and when I put the resolution to 1080p it gets a little snowy sometimes. It might be because of the plasma and simply because I am "upgrading" the resolution on the XBox. If not, you just might want to get the Elite. Then you'll have the extra hard drive space.
