You should probably use that HDMI cord..it does make a difference. I bought an HDMI upconverter for my XBox and it really made things pop.

I have thought about that. Only thing is that my tv only has 2 HDMI inputs. Currently, one is connected to my Dish receiver and the other is connected to my surround box/dvd player. Maybe one of these days I will put the dvd player on the composite(or is component?) connection.

Unless it is an upconverting DVD player, there is no reason to have it on HDMI. The fact that it supports HDMI makes me think it is an upconverter though.

It is an upconverting dvd player.

You can get true 1080p through VGA/HDMI.
Few TVs support 1080p through component. Your tv probably supports 1080i/720p - if you want to be playing your 360 games in 1080p - go HDMI or VGA. I have my 360 hooked up to a 24 inch viewsonic by VGA and it looks fantastic.

Upconverting DVD players require HDMI to do the upconvert though don't they? Seems like that is what I have read.

Not me. I'm saving my money for Brothers In Arms in August. I might get *gasp* an EA game when Mercs 2 comes out.

Great game. I have to go back and beat it one more time to get 2 pesky achievements I missed on my first playthrough.
