Why would you even need more than 100mbps anyway?
Regular CAT5 will do gigabit, just not certified to, it will drop the speed over long distances.

CAT5E and CAT6 are both rated for GigE.

The Xbox must only have a 100Mbit NIC in it, over a crossover cable, if both NICs were GigE then they'd auto-negotiate at 1Gbit.
