So, anyone with a xbox360 interested in seeing it on a 1080P 60" widescreen? Let me know, as I have one and want to see the 360 in all its glory. Must have component inputs of course. Doesnt matter what game. Let me know. Later.

Oh yeah, well, its got two HDMI inputs but no direct VGA. So if you got the cables for that, then come on over.

Well, you already know an Xbox only outputs 1080i max (PS3 said that they probably won't be able to go past that either)

Anyways, what's your sound system look like? My brother already has a 63" HDTV so it's not going to look much different to me really. Anyways, I'd be a little interested in seeing it for shits'n'grins if you have a cool sound hookup. Mines pretty tight and my TV is the shit.

With that TV, you better save something for a nex-gen console. Especially since hardly anything goes over 480p anyways w/o doing a conversion.

neba: you must make sure your tv/audio are high enough standards; I mean, god forbid anyone should attempt to socialize with paupers...

I've already seen it on a bigger TV. Seeing it again isn't worth the time it takes to mess with the 360 and the damn power brick.

Plus if the guy is trying to show off his new fancy TV and he doesn't even have a decent surround sound setup(or anything) then he spent his money before thinking the entire thing over, but a guy who buys that TV already knows this and I'm 95% sure he'll have a cool setup.

Well, im not exactly trying to show off. Did you guys know that we get free HD channels on Fidelity?! I was so shocked by the sheer clarity of 1080i that I wanted to see what a video game would look like at that clarity on that big of a screen. That was the reason. Back to the HD channels thing. We watched the finals for NCAA on HD, and the season openers in baseball in HD as well. If your interested, and have the capability, it comes in on channels 90-1,90-13, and 90-14; CBS and NBC, plus some bs 24/7 weather channel. Dont ask me how the TV tunes that in because I dont have a damn clue. We just did an auto scan and it found it. Possibly something to do with it having Cable Card Capability. Right now the TV is in the dorm so no sound setup. Its all sitting in my room in boxes. Not worth setting it up for less than a month, (we're moving to a house at the end of the semester). Well if your around this summer ill ask you then worsely. Thanks guys.

P.S. What TV you running it on now? brand/specs. Thanks.

My TV's are a long story, but I have two 36" HDTV LCD Flatpanels. Setup in a Cinematic arrangement around a sectional couch.

I could have gone with a bigger TV, but I went with the direction of Big and Portable. Also since I tend to have alot of console gaming friends it tends to work out a bit better, I still have my old 32" SDTV so I have an extremely unique LAN capable apartment. Like I said, I never planned on it turning out like this it just kind of fell in my lap.

As far as sound goes, I have a simple 550 W setup for my SDTV and a great 650 W setup for my LCD's. I'm planning on putting together enough $$$ to put a top-notch 1400+ W system for the long term.

Yes, I am in Farrar obeservant one. As far as the input goes, I have two on the back of the TV; one for bunny ears and one for analog cable. I am plugged in straight off the wall to the analog input. No box or anything.
