Just opening your new Xbox 360 and can’t decide which cable to use? RF, Composite, S-Video? What’s the difference?

Gamespot has an excellent article with screen shot comparisons showing you the difference between the various cables.

You peek behind your HDTV and discover an ocean of free video input connectors. You think to yourself, “Heck, I’ve got an open RF connector, I’ll just plug the 360 in there and daisy chain it with my NES. What’s the worst that could happen?” Wrong! Even though you have an HDTV, connecting the Xbox 360 to an RF jack could constitute criminal behavior. This finely tuned gaming machine generates graphics at glorious resolutions of up to 720p. In comparison, RF verges on the quality of a Flintstones camera.
