High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Enables an XboX to output high quality composite-video digital signal and Dolby Digital playback!

Weakness: Microsoft charges you ~$20 for something that should have been included with your XboX purchase. (Or the Advanced AV Pack)

This addition is intended for those of us who are "blessed" with Audio/Video (A/V) equipment that has digital inputs. These features are included with most of the modern-day low-end electronics available, so it doesn't take much to be part of the crowd. Once you have the equipment and this pack, output your XboX's Digital Video signal to your TV or receiver via the three RCA component connectors...

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Vast improvement over standard definition gaming. Very easy to use.

Weakness: None that I've found yet.

No one should have an Xbox and a high-definition TV without the High Definition AV Pack for Xbox. Extremely straightforward and easy to use. Just enable the high-definition and surround sound in the Microsoft dashboard and your off to high-definition gaming pleasure!

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: great picture clarity, no dropouts or pixelization

Weakness: none

i tried 2 other 3rd party brands and this one is simply the best brand to get when it comes to component and 5.1 audio. the 3rd party adapters do not even compare.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Superior video quality, easy to set up, great picture, well worth the small cost (cables for my DVD player cost $30).

Weakness: Short cables, no optical cable included ($30 extra)

This High-Def/DD pack is great. Noticable difference in picture quality before and after installation. Rather inexpensive, too. For real A/V buffs, go for the Monster Pack.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Much sharper picture than with regular video cables

Weakness: there are higher quality cables available

Using the high def kit, the picture was much sharper on my big screen hdtv than when i used the regular cables. it was a very clear and obvious difference and was well worth the money. recommended for anyone with an hdtv.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Component Video, Dolby Digital Sound.

Weakness: Optical cable not included.

I don't have a high definition t.v., but my t.v. does have component inputs, and I have a D.D./DTS surround system, so I thought I'd give this pack a try. I am very pleased with the results after hooking it up. The image is considerably better than the standard rca a/v cables supplied with the Xbox. The pack doesn't come with the optical cable needed to take advantage of Dolby Digital surround,...

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Graphics are awesome with high def games and non high def games. Dolby sound is sweet too.

Weakness: None to find yet.

This is a great addition to this system adds great crisp graphics, I many never leave it alone now. Also with the optical audio cord hooked up the audio is unbelivable. If you have a high def TV go out and get this for the xobox you will notice a big difference.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: image quality,compatibility of non-HD games

I have to say there's a huge difference between 480I and 480P. DOA3 looks great on my HDTV. can't wait to see more HD games out.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Clear instructions. Everything that was required for the hookup.

Weakness: Short cables.

This product certainly works as advertised. Everything that was required to hook my 65" widescreen TV component inputs up to the Xbox was included. Microsoft should realize that many people have big televisions these days and provide cables that are at least 6' long. I got everything hooked up, but another 6" either way and it would have been trouble.

High Definition AV Pack for Xbox

Strengths: Picture and sound quality are amazing, easy to setup.

Weakness: none

This is a very good tool for xbox and hdtv owners. The picture is really sharp. Very easy to setup. Halo never looked better. This is a must for hdtv. Better picture and sound = better gaming experience.
