Default question for scotracer

I have just received my elite yesterday and am just setting it up. I have a Samsung DLP that is a about 2 years old (720p 1hdmi). Right now I have my Dishnetwork box conected to the hdmi. My question is this is there a diferance in the HDMI from xbox to tv vs the components? If there is I am going to just switch the elite HDMI with the dish when I want to use the 360. Or is the compontent just as well for the 720p. I am alo going to DL HD movies from the market place so if that makes a diferance please let me know. Thanks

No, at 720p there is no difference between HDMI and Component, but again it is subjective but from what I have researched I cannot see any differences.

If you really want to use HDMI, get an HDMI Switcher since HDMI is digital there is unlikely to be any losses in doing so.

It's called the "uradumbass" law of electricity.

It must be the power outlet in the wall. Use a butter knife to try and clean it out a little.










No, not really. Don't try this at home sports...err kids.

Question For Scotracer: Is it true that you can wrap your powerblock with a trashbag and submerse it in a Bucket of cold water to cool your 360?
