Does Hdmi Make A Big Difference? Options

[PhoenixGuard]

I just bought a new LCD TV, but my 360 is one of the older models that doesn't have HDMI. Is it worth getting a new xbox to get the HDMI input? Will I notice much difference between HDMI and Component?

I was thinking about just getting a 360 arcade and putting my old HD on it.

I got this Vizio LCD, if it makes a difference on the decision: Vizio XVT.

Thanks for the advice

I hate to bump old threads - but someone reading this would get quite a bit of wrong information. Component can output at 1080p (provided the TV supports it). VGA is analog, and typically has double the bandwidth of component, though it's really hardly noticeable unless you're using a PC. HDMI offers the best picture (and DVI-D), since it is a pure digital signal. You should see a *significant* difference between VGA and HDMI - whether the difference is good or bad, that depends on your source, typically.
