XCM White 360 HDMI Cable Had extremely high hopes for this when i ordered it and, considering the price tag, assumed it would be a great buy. In my opinion, I was wrong. The main problem I have with the product is that DVDs can't be played due to HDCP restrictions which I did not know before hand as it is not clearly stated anywhere. When I contacted XCM about DVD playback then, and only then, was it ever made clear that DVD movie playback is not possible. However, playing a movie from a USB is possible so that makes up a bit for the lack of DVD support. On the other hand, gaming, i found, is no better with this cable than component even if you have a 1080p screen as 1080p is not properly supported by the cable (may be supported by HD-DVD but don't know since I don't own the HD-DVD drive). I gave the cable 3 stars purely because it actually served the purpose I bought it for; allowing me to hook up a sound system properly, and it allowed for this very well. As far as HD-DVDs go, I can't comment as I don't have the HD-DVD drive.
To sum up, I do not recommend anyone who enjoys watching DVD movies on their 360 to buy this or anyone looking for a major difference in quality from the component cable.

XCM Mk1 Xbox 360 HDMI Cable Many of you may think this is a pointless product. When you try and use a component cable through a switch with a Wii to avoid constant plugging/unplugging and are getting constant interference as a result then it becomes a lot more useful!!!
The picture is now rock solid, slightly sharper in 720p than the analogue component. The only issue I have is that the picture needs a bit of re-calibration afterwards as it seemed to be a bit dark. If you have a 360 and are about to get a true HD telly then you should seriously consider this as an alternative to buying the analogue component cable. If you already have an HD telly and are using a component lead then it is worthwhile, but only if you are getting interference as it is a lot of money. It makes a bigger difference in this scenario if you are using the HD-DVD drive by the way. Not 1080p which may be an issue for some, not HDCP but this isn't implemented in HD-DVD at the moment so not an issue.
Good product technically, slightly expensive, but I don't regret buying mine.
