I have the HD DVD player. This will not make a difference to the video being 1080p for movies. All that it does is convert the component video from the Xbox 360 into HDMI. Unless it tricks the 360 into thinking it is actually HDMI, then it won't make a difference with HDCP. And FYI, the Xbox 360 VGA cable can output 1080p HD DVD HDCP content through old 360s because it is not covered in the HDCP restriction set.

Only if your TV VGA port supports 1080p. Most do not so it will make a difference. Besides, VGA is over glorified analog, not true digital.

True, but not all TV's can support 1080p via VGA. $90 seems adequate instead of forking out $1500 for an HD set that will give Full HD via VGA!
