Will the picture be better than a standard DVD player if I play DVD's through my XBOX with the MONSTER HD Cables??


**I hope they don't sue me for that**

Not unless you are already using component video cables on your regular dvd player.

If your'e just using composite video cables or an S-video cable from your regular DVD player then Yes, the video quality will be better using the xbox and it's HD Pak.

The xbox actually had progressive dvd playback but for some reason it is turned off in the software. Kinda Ghey if you ask me!
