Terrific. More black space when watching a movie. Not to mention it runs at an eeky 50 Hz and 25 fps. No thanks.

Today's Xbox has a component you can buy for $20 that will allow you to get HD output.

I haven't tried to plug my sister's Xbox in yet, but I will in the near future.

525... I don't actually know what you mean by the infamous muddy picture. You probably had old equipment. Today's equipment works just fine. Quite frankly, I prefer the 60 Hz over the 50, and less black space when viewing movies. *shrug*
