Found this interesting....

The company says it sold more than 960,000 consoles in the U.S. during the week of Black Friday, of which more than 800,000 were sold within a period of 24 hours, according to internal sales data. Additionally, more than 750,000 Kinect for Xbox 360 sensors were sold in the U.S. – standalone and bundled.

"Hey my friends are the ones that wanted to eat at that shitty hole in the wall that only served bread and wine.  What kind of brick and mud business model is that.  Stick to the cart if that's all you're going to serve.  Then that dude came in with like 12 other people, and some of them weren't even wearing shoes, and the restaurant sat them right across from us. It was gross, and they were all stinky and dirty.  Then dude starts talking about eating his body and drinking his blood...I almost lost it.  That's the last supper I'll ever have there, and I hope he dies a horrible death."

That's one of the MANY battles they win against Sony. The whole hacking acct numbers thing isn't too cool either. Probably a feature that Sony should have left off the PS3.

Should I go HDMI or the shitty A/V cable they gave me? Even though it's for my wife I might have to pick up a few manly games for it myself...

Drop the 30 bucks for the HDMI.  Ton of difference.

The A/V cables are high definition, technically.  They display at 480p.  The HDMI cable simply allows you to display at 720p and 1080p.

If your eyesight's bad, then you won't notice much of a difference.  Even with good eyesight, the difference is noticeable, but not vagina-wettening awesome.

720p and 1080p are most noticeably different from 480p when watching sports, but you'll notice some difference while playing games as well.  It's basically up to you, but I just wouldn't go into it expecting any extreme difference.

Don't you have some LED light bulbs to install?

He's right.  If you are Mr McGoo you will not notice a difference. 

You will see a big difference.  I went from the shitty 420p cable to the other about three years ago and the difference was night and day on COD.

Are you currently using the red, green, and blue component cables, or just the yellow cable?  The (second) red and white cables are for audio...

Trent Richardson reads gooder than me.

Go ahead and get the HDMI.  If you already had an Xbox hooked up and were using the yellow cable, I was going to tell you to try out the red, green, and blue cables.  The yellow cable is a standard connection, whereas the red, green, and blue will give you low-level, 480p HD.  You'd probably be satisfied with the 480p, but if you simply just want to get the most out of it, then get the HDMI cable.

Just opened the box, was asking because the 3rd HDMI port on the tv's in the front. I'm not going to be a big fan of looking at the fucking cable sticking out the front of the TV.

People's testimony can be misleading for a variety of reasons.  Person A says 1080 is not much different than 720.  Person A doesn't realize that he has 1080i, and due to the nature of how interlaced signals are displayed, his "actual" resolution as the human eye sees it is the equivalent of 720p.

Person A says 480p is the same as 720p (or 720p vs. 1080p); Person B says, "FUCK YOU! I noticed a major difference."  Neither person realizes that the distance at which you watch television, as well as the size of the television, makes a huge difference in whether you can discern the HD quality changes in each.  Being further back from the TV, you'll notice less of a difference in HD between 480p, 720p, and 1080p, generally speaking.  Sitting closer to the TV results in a person noticing more of the HD difference, again, depending on the size of the TV and exactly how "close" the viewer is.  Most studies show that, for your average sized flat panel TV in your average sized family room, most people sit too far away from the TV to realistically be able to notice the difference between 720p and 1080p.

There are too many variables that go into the differences between the three HD signals (including the capabilities of your TV, type of TV, what device is sending what type of signal to the TV, etc.) to simply state that one is clearly better than the other.  But, just to simplify things, they have made three basic categories for HD, and tout that the higher the number, the better the picture.

Generally true, yes, but a variety of things that you do or don't do will affect how "mother fucking awesome holy shit balls!" the difference is.

Like I said, go into the purchase expecting a slight change, because if you buy the cable thinking that it will definitely be a "night and day" difference, or otherwise will bring you to a sexual climax of epic proportions, then you may very well disappoint yourself.
