5 Stars For games, does what it should.
I was nervous about spending $75 for this instead of forking up the $200 for an Xbox 360 Arcade unit to replace my older one with for the HDMI port. My TV only supported 1080i through component, and with the new Octava HDMI/Toslink switch box i had bought, HDMI was a must for my Xbox. I hooked everything up last night, and the converter works just fine. Like many people said, it does blast some of the whites kind of bright, and even the instruction sheet mentions you may need to turn down your brightness on the TV. I kicked my brightness down by 4 clicks, and it is fantastic. Games are now coming through at 1080p instead of 1080i, and the toslink connector on the converter is working just fine, it passed through to my switch box and then to my surround sound with no sound issues in 5.1 digital. I don’t have the HD-DVD add-on, but for games, works like a champ.

3 Stars Not 1080p
No problems with the seller or anything like that, mad catz just sucks. The image quality after using this part is a little bit better. All in all, just get an xbox with a real hdmi port.

This thing will not work with my t.v. I bought this at frys good thing i did so i can return it real fast. I have a ln52A860 and it will make my t.v. blink on and off and then static for the longest time. If i could i would give this peace of junk no stars. Don’t waste your time on this product

1 Star Not what it appeared to be…
The item that was pictured and described which I thought that I was buying was not what was sent to me, at least not in it’s entirety. To complete my purchase I was asked to pick between a black or gray casing cover for my hard drive and I picked gray, however when the item arrived all I had was an internal (naked) hard drive with no external case to attach it to the XBOX 360 system. The paperwork that was sent went on to tell me that I purchased only the internal hard drive and if I needed the external case I could acquire one from the seller for an additional $17.00. I haven’t been so upset with an online purchase since I had my credit card information stolen from an insecure site. On top of this whole thing… the hard drive itself, now that it’s all put together, doesn’t even work the way it should because there seem to be issues with the 120GB unit. Not my happiest purchase, or a great Bday gift for my son either.
