I can't interpret all that VGA S-Video crap; will my Xbox 360 come with a SCART cable or not? 
As for the rest, looks fine to me. Nice inclusion of wireless controller and headset, too; lucky I don't need the wireless adapter and remote control.

 No DVI.
And no component. 
GTPod, it'll have scart and better have component like the XBOX1.

Well if it didn't it would be useless for like 90% of us, although VGA sounds cool.

It only comes with standard composite cables... 
I thought they would at least put component/full pin scart cables in the box for this generation of consoles.

I gave myself a hell of a gash with one of those controller packages 
VGA for me at this point I'd say, depending on whether or not I can find a good switchbox for component devices.

What happened to 802.11g? They said Wireless 802.11a, b, and c. I don't even think that there is a 802.11c. Anyway, most people have Wireless G over Wireless A or B.

Never heard of a c network either... Most g networks are backwards compatible with a or b, mine is anyway. That shouldn't be an issue. The PAL Xbox wasn't HD compatible, they screwed us over big time. Hopefully those Microsoft bastards don't repeat the insult.
And that $300 price, Australian or US?

I expect it's miscommunication somewhere along the line - it probably is a,b and g.

Apparently these are the cables that come with the console;
So it incorporates composite AND component.

The type of video signal you get with the cable that usually comes with consoles, single rca cable with a yellow plug (with an additional scart plug in Europe). Gives an absolutely horrible image quality. They could at least have shipped the current gen of consoles with a full pin rgb compatible scart cable in Europe (not HD compatible (I think), but a lot better than composite).
mrcivic: That looks interesting. I really hope we get that with the European console too.

I'll brave the rest of this generation with my out-of-the-box SCART lead, but I'm not going to be using it next-gen, for sure

Someone told me that the yellow one was component so now that makes sense.
