[QUOTE="bavelb, post: 15787, member: 358"] To the OP: if you want to play in HD (assuming you have an HD TV) you also need to buy an HDMI cord. Just get the cheapest you can find for the length you need. Digital cords don't need to be gold plated, diamond tipped, super expensive lossless cords. Mine was 4 bucks for 3 metres I think. For some inexplicable f'd up reason consolemanufacturers tend to give you only SD-cords when selling the console (I bought a new 360 last month, it came with approx 100 bucks worth in games but a f'in SD cord...). Probably so they hope you buy their overpriced 30$/euro cord, but I loathe to think how many people have their 200+ bucks console hooked up to their 700+ bucks 1080p tv's with composite SD cables and wondering what all this "HD-gaming hubbub" and Bluray-hype is all about.
