Well that wasn't the main reason for buying this (i wanted the vga output and the flexability with other connections). But it eleminates the pesky hub and keeps the xbox looking clean and "cool". It runs off of usb power so it elminates the brick. I bought it at gamestop for about $15 (some were 30, but i'm sure it was an error since they were the exact same product). It works perfectly and i wish they had released this before i went out and bought and the expensive microsoft adapters.



EDIT: i found/confirmed it at the $15 dollar price on the site

also it DOES NOT work with and 360 with HDMI output at all ( i.e. Pro ) hopefully they make another model that can deal with the connection and the moved ports

Quite nice, hopefully the USB is powered through a means other than the USB ports (like taping the incoming feed or some other DC voltage internal) since running power through an unpowered USB hub has been known to cause RRoD issues.

Definitely cleaner though.
