Pretty silly. Everything I have read is that there is no real benefit in pic quality with the HDMI output on this... But I know when I tried the VGA cable, picture was a little too soft so I went back to component.
you guys sound like morons... VGA isn't over-glorified analog.. but it is analog... VGA was never digital and has never claimed to be digital. the VGA cable was meant for those who want to be able to play their xbox360 on their already high resolution computer monitors which will support 1920x1080 (as well as lower standard computer monitor resolutions) if they have a 1920x1200 (or lower) monitor. And most 1080p TVs that do have VGA inputs will support the 1080p from the xbox360 over VGA. The reason it upscales everything when using the VGA is because computers don't change their output resolution everytime the media resolution changes, and computer resolutions are all p there is no i in the monitor world (they can play back i stuff and have to run deinterlacing to remove the interlace artifacts, but comps don't output in i ever over VGA). I wonder if that even made sense...
