Short answer, no difference, VGA looks better on some tellys, HDMI better on others. HDMI tends to have a very very slightly sharper image, but thats about it. If your a real audio-whore then you will prefer HDMI, but if your a normal person you wont notice difference.

Only reason I can ever see a HDMI worth a purchase is so I can free up VGA connection for my PC.

why is the short answer longer than the long answer? lol

and yeah i see what you mean now, it looks to me like all this fuss over HDMI isn't nessecary in the slightest. i have a HDMI link from my laptop to my tv and a VGA from my xbox to my tv and both look great, i can't tell any kind of difference at all. i dunno why people are going so crazy over HDMI, maybe because they were told to, every time someone goes on about HDMI i get a wiff of halo
