Re: Xbox HD Cable

[Sean <thunderchilduk@xxxxxxxxx>]

Hmmm to get HD out of the xbox if I remember right it needs to be set
to NTSC.

I was in Toys R Us today and the had reduced the prices off all the old
XBOX kit
MS advanced scart leads were 2.49
Wireless 2.4Ghz Controlers 2.49 Each

and the joytech? AV connection box with component out and
co-ax/optical digital out 99p

they had other pieces of kit including wireless dance mats and
steering wheels, but i never got the prices.
