yeah really,

i was over at my sisters place over Easter weekend, they picked up a 45" HD bigscreen off some guy for 250.00 because the remote IR on the tv is burned out, i softmodded a friends xbox over there and we were playing halo for a while and i was like WTF this looks like hell compared to at my place,(he didnt have an HD cable pack) most xbox games support 480p which is hella better than 480i, i only live 15 min away from my sis so i ran home got my hd cable, and my brother in law was like holy sh**, and he had the tv and was playing xbox on it for 2 months and didnt know that there would be such a dramtic difference, he gave me 20.00 bucks for my cable and i picked up another on monday

as i said the vast majority of xbox games support 480p and you will see a huge difference especially if playing on a projection set up

I would say hook it up with component cables! I personally havent put a Xbox game in my 360 yet so i dont know how much better it looks but i would think component would look better?

i really dont play xbox 1 games on my 360 much but i have put all i have in just to see if there is a difference.  IMHO the difference is DRAMATIC.  especially with games like rainbow six 3 where the jaggies were so horrible on the xbox1 that it hurt my eyes.  now the lines are smoother and more defined, the colors are deeper, and the overall screen is easier on the eyes.  

one thing that bothers me though is that if all of these games are supposed to be upscaled to 720p, then why are half of them not in widescreen format?  does this mean that they only have AA applied to them?
