Component (RGB) or Composite, doesn't carry sound unlike HDMI connection. But the cable does have Red/White Audio phono's, so if you tv can accept an external sound source via phono's then it should work.

premium 60 gig harddrive, hd component, headset

elite - black, headset, hdmi lead, and component, 120gig harddrive.

all have hdmi ports.


whats the difference between the HD Componant, and HDMI lead? I know what HDMI is. Is the hd componant for the PyPb something or other?

Are all 360's using the new motherboard (named Falcon i think) that has sorted the heatsink issues?

or get the arcade and wait until the sales and get your self an external harddrive and save it onto that

if you are purely using the memory on the arcade to save games saves on you will not run out.

however, downloading games off live, downloading game demos, and installing games to your harddrive is out of the question.

that said it will not affect you in any way if your just playing games and not downloading.

you can also purchase a seperate harddrive later down the line with the arcade.

the arcade lacks HD leads and a headset aswell as the harddrive.

Sorry if it's been mentioned before... haven't got search :o

Missus maybe buying me a 360 for xmas, can't decide which one to get, obviously 60gig ideally but thats at the end of her budget.

Will i run out of memory THAT quickly with an arcade, i.e. am i not gonna be able to save like 5-10 games at a time?

Not bothered about downloading this and that.

cheers
