The New XCM 1080p HDMI Cable for First Generation Xbox 360

If you got one of the early first generation Xbox 360s without an HDMI port, you are probably looking for a way to get the high resolution and picture quality of high definition TV; while HDTVs weren’t as prevalent when the Xbox 360 first came onto the scene, today most Xbox 360 games are designed with an HDTV in mind.

The text in Dead Rising is a good example – since then game designers have tried to keep in mind that it is important that their games be at least readable on a standard TV, but in general if you play a lot of games with onscreen text you’re going to want the highest resolution screen possible. Even if the games that you play are straightforward action without a lot of reading going on, it still makes sense if you have an HDTV to get the best graphics for your money.

The XCM 1080p HDMI Cable is the perfect solution for this kind of situation! It converts the analog signal from your first generation Xbox 360 into the same high definition signal that you would get from an HDMI port. The XCM 1080p HDMI Cable also comes with an HDMI to DVI adapter – plugging this into the cable output gives you a signal compatible with your PC, so you can play your Xbox 360 games and content in high definition resolution on your HDTV or computer monitor.

Additional RCA and optical sockets on the side of the disc shaped converter give you options for connecting your Xbox 360 to your speakers / stereo sound system. All in all, the XCM 1080p HDMI Cable is one of the most inexpensive upgrades for your system, and makes it possible for you to get the best look and sound out of your first gen Xbox 360.
