No the standard composite cable that comes with Core 360's does NOT have an optical connection.

Just a little news about Microsoft, for the moment (August06 include), only 3,750 Millions of Xbox 360 sell in the world (70% in USA), and not 5M like Microsoft says.
Why MS lie about sell ?

Just yesterday, I came across this 3rd party pad that actually had a good dpad. The rest of the pad is pretty good too. A must buy IMO.

This is the main reason Europe got shafted. Sonys main threat comes from the US. I think by the time PS3 hits Europe the machines will be level, with the Wii miles ahead of both

tnx for the anwser doc. So what what you guys recommend? Core or full? Now im only gonna be playing at home and not online, i have no interest in downloading demo's, i dont want a wireless, and im likely to only be playing pes6 and gta. Im thinking the core but maybe you lot have some info to persuade me otherwise.

If you get a core, be sure to get a memory card.

Hit the eject button and look at it. Philips are not known to be out in the wild, so nobody should have one of those unless they have a demo unit. If you want to flash the firmware, both the Hitachi and Samsungs have hacked firmwares that work just fine. The Smasung firmware is normally 1 step ahead ofg the hitachi, but both are hackable and both play backups fine. Head over to Xbox-Scene.com if you are interested in flashing the drives firmware.

Are there any boffins out there who could tell me what the chances are of Microsoft sending out a patch over XBOX Live that can find out if you've modified your firmware and ban you? I'd love to flash mine, but if I got kicked off Live, I'd be gutted.

When they catch you, they'd most likely ban your xbox, not your live account. Meaning you could buy a core and flash that only for offline games.

chance right now is 50/50 im afraid. Ive got mates who use Live all the time so theres no problem right now. Also theres continuous updates being released so you could keep yourself a step ahead.
IMO if you like Live then dont bother getting it flashed.
