Ownership verified by DX Fantastic All-In-One breakout box for your 360!

Pros: This little gadget is very practical for the XBOX 360. No need for a dozen type of different cables, you only need this one breakout box.
Contains two little silent fans at the back to help the 360's fans expel air because the box is quite large.
Build quality is excellent and the electronics inside are well made.
The connectors at the back are of very good quality and contains a couple of switches to toggle the type of output desired.
There is even an optical audio out port!

Cons: The fans at the back could have been left out when designing this item. They only add to the bulk of the adapter and the electronics part inside fit in only 1/3 of the length of the adapter.
The biggest con of this device is that is has been designed for the older Zephyr motherboards which lack an HDMI connector. The socket will NOT fit newer Falcon XBOX360s as the addition of an HDMI port has displaced the xbox connector to the left a bit.
To make this adapter work on new XBOX360s, you have to open it, desolder the connector, bend the pins, connect the pins to the circuit with wires and modify the shell by cutting and remoulding the connector location. Check the picture to see what I did to make it work.
The last con is the price. It is very expensive for a device of that type. Its real value should be half of what it is being sold for, especially considering that it will not fit new XBOX360s

Other Thoughts: Nothing much except that if you have some electronic & McGyver skills, then you should definitely buy this.

Bottomline: An expensive breakout box but it has been fun to modify it and make it work on my new XBOX360. If you don't mind the fiddling then get this :-)

Pros: A lot of connection possibilities together with fans should make this product a "hit", but please read the rest of my posting before you buy it.

Cons: Does not physically fit my Xbox 360 and this makes it impossible to use! The contact on this product does not physically match the place where the contact on the Xbox 360 is located. Because of this it is quite impossible to mount this unit onto my Xbox 360.
Maybe there are different editions of the Xbox 360 (I live in Norway), but if there are, my edition does not match this product. But maybe it will fit onto other edition? I honestly don't know...

Other Thoughts: The contact on this product misses the contact on my Xbox 360 with less than one centimetre!

Bottomline: Could have been an excellent product, but unfortunately I can't use it at all.
