Bought the Xbox 360’s HDMI cable finally. Be frank, the price of HKD328 is fairly reasonable: it allows you to have analogue or digital audio out (optical), although the optical out is also available on the component cable that comes with the console… the best bit is, the quality. I could finally select the 1080p output option and it made a total difference with Halo3.

I was amazed (”wow, wow, wow” most of the time). The pity thing is, my optical cable isn’t long enough and so I’m still using the red-white analogue cables…

Therefore, I’m going to get a longer optical cable this Saturday - so that I can enjoy hearing the bullets flying around!

p.s. Playing Halo3 on my Panasonic TH-42PY700H plasma is truely amazing, especially with the lights out :p
p.p.s. the Tannoy speakers helped alot too
p.p.p.s. and the Infinity sub-woofer… and the bose center/rear speakers helped too ;P
