    Hi,

    I am looking to buy an Xbox 360 and I need to ask a couple of questions.

    1) As far as I'm aware the Premium Xbox doesn't come with a HDMI cable included?

    2) Microsoft use an Xbox specific HDMI cable, if I buy a standard HDMI cable will it not work on my Xbox?

    3) Is there any danger that Microsoft will drop the price of the xbox in the next couple of months in order to get an edge in the xmas console war? I dont want to buy an Xbox next week and see the price drop in December.

    I cant see them dropping the price before xmas. They know they'll have the market when the Wii shortage kicks in so they wont want to lose any money. Just shop around for the best deal you can get

    Premium Doesn't have the HDMI, the Elite console does though.
    The premium does come with standard hi-def cables.
    Some third party manufacturers make compatible HDMI cables I think. Logic3 maybe.
    You might find that retailers offer different deals before christmas, but there are always different deals around the place, just shop around.

    So the 360 has its own HDMI cable and a standard one that I could pick up in a TV+HiFi shop wouldnt work on it?

    New premiums do come with HDMI port, it was added a few months ago*.

    All HDMI cables are the same, so you can use any one from anywhere


    *It will say on the side of the box/bottom corner if it has HDMI port

    It will come with a HDMI port, but not a HDMI cable.
