You don't get a HD cable with the 60gb console.

If you want to get HD output from the 360 (and you have a HD display), then you need either a HDMI cable, or a component cable. Some people claim that there's no difference between the 2, but I use HDMI for simplicity.

Using a HDMI cable means that both picture and sound are 'transmitted' through the same cable, plus the resolution of the picture is maximised (up to 1080p).

In a nutshell, using your own HDMI cable will increase the quality of the picture over the supplied cable.
