1357533 2005-09-01 10:11:00 Does anyone know where I can buy an adapter that converts

Component Video (3 Plugs for video)
to
a standard RCA plug (Like an xbox or a PS2 has as standard)?

For as little money as possible.

Any help would be appreciated.

1357534 2005-09-01 11:05:00 Even if it had an S-Video output from a component video input it would be fine. splatman41 (68)

They have a website here (www.dse.co.nz)

And yes, i live in NZ.

1357538 2005-09-02 06:29:00 The XBOX 360 Core pack comes with a HD Component Video cable. My TV does not have a component video jack, just a 3 port RCA Video/L-Audio/R-Audio.

I want to get the X360 Core pack, but I am worried that it will not run on my TV.

I am early, I know, but If i have to get one shipped in or something I have more time.

ANY Suggestions would help (Not just a Adapter - ANYTHING)

Thanks

1357539 2005-09-02 07:41:00 Dont worry about it - both bundle packs come with composite connections/cabling (standard RCA video+audiox2)... :)

Looks like only the ultimate bundle comes with the component (HD) cabling :confused:

I see they also have a VGA connection/cable available - very impressive - use your expensive computer monitor as an HD display - sure beats buying an HDTV :) :)

1357541 2005-09-02 12:55:00 I have found this (www.ascent.co.nz) adapter on ascent.co.nz.

Does anyone think it will work?

See above problem^.

^^^ Look at this - from what I can gather you get the composite cables in both sets plus the HD (progressive/RGB) (or a combo) cable in the expensive pack.

Supplying a console with a HD only set up would be a very bad idea - they would not do this...
