Take the standard supplied HD component cables and split the adapter box with a screw driver. It will take some force but the box is not attached to the cords at all. It will eventually pop off and you can peel the other side off. This slide the now silver and slimmer adapter back into your xbox and attach the HDMI cable at the same time. And you can use the Optical out. Just what Mik said. Take the standard supplied HD component cables and split the adapter box with a screw driver.

The standard adaptor is too wide - not a good reason to spend $50 If you split the case off the standard adaptor you still get the optical out port on it and the HDMI cable will fit down the side.

In my opinion i think microsoft did a bad choice when not providing the adapter on their Halo limited edition. Limited means just that. I guess microsoft is not really consumer oriented.

It does come with the HD AV adapter that has component video (up to 1080p if your TV supports it...most now do) and this adapter has an input for an optical sound cable to connect to your surround sound. I've personally compared both the component and HDMI video out from my new console and can't tell the difference on my 42" Sharp Aquos 1080p display. Hope that helps. @Jeff

I want to buy the 360 with the HDMI connection (for when i do eventually get an HDtv), but my current TV does not accept HDMI. I thought that this version of the 360 would come with the standard AV dongle, an HDMI cable, and ports for both. Am i wrong? Confused…what if I dont own an HDtv yet?
