This is a HEADS UP to all people that will be buying the new Xbox that comes with the 250GB hard drive.
I bought my son the MW2 XBox (bundle)for Christmas (but 'we' couldn't wait and is up and running now). When we opened the box I noticed that the cable that came with this $400.00 bundle was just a VGA cable. Microsoft is no longer packaging their systems with the duel cable that came with the older XBox 360 Live (Pro/Elite NOT Arcade).
A Microsoft representative told me that they were getting "in line" with PS3 and just offering the standard cable connection so everybody can enjoy it right out of the box. This makes no sense since the "older" cable had both connections on them (HD/AV and VGA). But this is Microsoft we're talking about... so what else is new.
Because of this I used the cable from his "old" Xbox so we didn't have a problem. I just need another one of these cables so I can hook-up my son's "old" 120GB XBox Live to another HDTV in our house.
Anyway... The whole point of this review is to let you know that if you have bought the new Modern Warfare 2 XBox with the 250GB HD for Christmas and haven't opened it up yet be advised you will need to buy this AV cable (or an HDMI cable if your HDTV supports that type of connection) if you want to be able to play in High Definition.
