You could win both ways by...

Getting the HD TV and playing Tigerwoods PGA tour 2007

But it costs an arm & leg to play golf over here (guernsey "channels islands")

There's a microsoft VGA cable and a microsoft HD component cable....

Each cable gives a different kind of picture on different models of HD TV's...Some people like the VGA picture better and others like the picture from the HD component cable better..

(I like the picture myself best when using the microsoft HD component cable)

Do make sure you only buy a microsoft branded HD cable or you could be losing picture quailty..(as they say..you get what you pay for)

Each cable should be around £17.99...

microsoft HD component cable

microsoft VGA cable

The VGA cable will let you run your xbox360 on almost all PC monitors..

Important : You need to know what inputs your HD tv has and what res it runs on each input before buying one.

I use the VGA cable, it looks better and up scales dvds.

I think the Component cable upscales DVDs as well.

Doesn't it only show them in 480p? The VGA will upscale to what ever res you have it set at.
