    Is the XBOX 360 HDMI port just needing a standard cable?

    The reason I ask is because I just got a freesat box from Argos, it said on the page you need a HDMI cable, so I bought one aswell, when I looked on the box after getting back to work it says it has a HDMI cable included, so basically I've got a HDMI cable going spare.

    The new tv is being delivered on Sunday, and that has 2 HDMI ports, so could I use this standard HDMI cable with my 360? This will save me going back to Argos for a refund.
    In the internets, no one can hear you sarcasm.

    I use a HDMI standard lead with my Xbox into my TV.

    If you have an HDMI port on your 360 then yes, standard HDMI cables will work with it

    You will need to get the special dongle if you use optical/phono out seperate mind you.

    But for video + sound it does the job fine

    Cool, got the Xbox 2 months ago so no worries there, and not using any other devices for sound, just the tv. I'm actually amazed that MS did not create some quirky shaped HDMI port so you had to buy there kit.
