    people kept telling me they saw em in game but thats very unlikely since the pal xbox has no options to run in HD, in order to run in HD you have to have the machine set to NTSC and then choose it in the xbox dash.

    Anyway...i got some cables from ebay for about a tenner and theyre ok, slight ghosting but nothing major, however for a few quid more ive seen a few sellers selling a short cable that terminates to a little box with the component connectors on, i think they would result in a better image.

    I have been looking at getting one of those on ebay but came across a quality cable at http://www.futureshop.co.uk/ixos-xpx...-2m-p-266.html , and ordered them. Cheers for all the help fellas, cant wait to test these out, so is it just a case of enabling NTSC in the main dash then setting the res in XBMC?

    you will need to use the enigmah videomode switcher to get the xbox into ntsc first too, then goto the xbox dash and choose your res, 720p works best, 1080i is a little jerky in he menus etc.
