    Having now bought 2 cables for my Xbox 360 (VGA and HDMI) off eBay only to find they're duds, I'm going to try a real-life shop this time. The cheapest I've seen is €29.99 in HMV - does anyone know of any cheaper?

    If you're looking for any hdmi cable(And all hdmi cables work with the 360), argos have one for 8e. Its a fairly short one though so also have a look in tesco. They should have decent length ones for less than 10e

    Sorry, I should be specific and mean I want one that comes with the optical out audio adaptor.

    O right fair enough, i havent seen them in many places to be honest and i imagine the demand for them would be pretty small. To come to think of it, 30e for one in hmv doesn't sound too bad because its rrp is 45e afaik. Its 25£ on amazon uk so i guess if you just want to get it in a shop, you probably wont do better than 30e.

    He specifically wants one with optical out aswell..


    OP you could just get a hdmi dvd player that has hdmi in of course, it would be alot easier to find.



    OPTICAL OUT TO SOUND SYSTEM
    XBOX HDMI ->HDMI DVD PLAYER /

    Actually, turns out the one in HMV is _just_ the HDMI cable - no audio adaptor. Rip-off!
