Is the X-box 360 a good Dvd player?

Mine too, the replacements didn't get HDMI. I mean the store ones. They say it on the box I think.

I don't notice a big difference on mine but I don't have the other speakers hooked up yet, just stereo. I have bad hearing though.

 

Optical is only needed if you have surround sound (DTS, Dolby 5.1 etc)

 

Anyways, I decided to just go ahead and do it.

Got myself the

Xbox 360 Elite
and
a 32" HDTV

 

The last time I checked, it did. Both commercial DVDs and DVD-R. Also there is at least one (hacked) DVD player that works without a remote.

 

for XBOX (1) there is also a app that makes your xbox think it has a remote. And for playing DVD's in XBMC I don't need to use a remote. (I got one of the newer builds)

 

and dont fforget you can use your psp as a remote as long as you have a ir dongle
