| Ok, so its November and I have just purchased my Xbox360. I have brought the
"Fully Loaded" package. After a long walk back from the shops fending off
the people that try and steel it from me in the Urban-jungle. And dreaming
of kicking butt on LIVE. I get home. Straight upstairs to my room. In that
room I have my TV. A TV that to be fair has seen better days. Not a top of
the range TV but hey It works. Now this TV has a S.C.A.R.T connecter on it.
It DOESN'T Have S-Video or any HDTV connectors. Is my "FULLY LOADED" Xbox
going to work with that TV unit?!?
Now lets bear this in mind if it doesn't work with your bog standard SCART
socket. Dixon's (Other electrical retails are available) are going to be
setting lots of HDTV in November. And I will be EXTREMELY MIFFED. And be
dreaming a refund for my Xbox360. Unless of course I have to purchase an
additional Cable in which case I will get the money back for my ADDITIONAL
purchase off Microsoft. Haven't worked that last part out yet. But boy will
I be a MIFFED
Extremely Concerned

Yes the box itself with come with a component lead, so at first glance it
seems it won't work.
HOWEVER, also on that component lead is a composite video cable that you can
plug into the scart adapter (included in the box) with the two audio
channels, like the existing Xbox today.
If you want RGB though, you'll need the RGB cable however.
