I just ordered mine (Premium, Forza2, Viva Pinata & 2 wireless controllers), seems it's going out of stock in some of the cheaper places so I had to hit the Order button before it was too late.. just gotta wait for delivery now.

At least it will help people when they ask me "what do you want for Christmas?".. "why, here's my games wishist (ME, PGR4 etc"

)

Depends on personal experience but a great deal of people who have used both VGA and HDMI go for the former. Being a user of both until I bought a Sammy HDTV and went with HDMI (VGA looks awful on this) I also agree that VGA is a lot better since MS fixed VGA a while back adding expanded support.

Orange Box is worth it for Portal alone imo, but if you have it on the PC then there is no point. CoD4 is a must for its awesome but short SP and intense MP. Also as mentioned get Condemned it is one of the best games I have played on the 360!

Have fun and enjoy!

I think it differs from tv to tv.

For me it's HDMI > VGA, although there is pretty much no difference except for my set doesn't do 1080p over VGA.

Component is by far the worst, surprisingly bad infact.

component quality would depend on the tv i would have thought
my 720p tv has virtually no difference between component and hdmi - on my 1080p set the difference is night and day
im thinking of getting a vga cable tho as 1080p over hdmi looks as though its upscaled and im wondering whether with vga it will actually output at 1920x1080 1:1
for example my ps3 and pc look as though there is true 1:1 pixel mapping yet the 360 over hdmi, while looking fantastic, looks like its either not designed to run at thats res or that its upscaled

Yes, thought that was quite obvious.

on my 720p HDTV, i can't see any difference between VGA and component. Although, the colours on component are slightly better for me.

Not at all, quite the opposite

Suggests to me that you would recommend component, then vga, then hdmi. Not that it seems to matter going from what a lot of people on here say.
To the OP, go for HDMi if possible though

I'm using VGA with my Digimate 24" (OcUK Deal) and it looks great, unfortunately my console doesn't have HDMI so I can't compare. If your using a monitor rather than a TV then I think HDMI and VGA will be pretty much the same, I think it's the TV's that tend do have quality issues between HDMI and VGA.
