NO! If your TV has a VGA port, you may be in luck.

From xbox.com, supported resolutions with the VGA cable (games).

* 640 x 480
* 848 x 480
* 1024 x 768
* 1280 x 720 (equivalent to 720p)
* 1280 x 768
* 1280 x 1024
* 1360 x 768
* 1920 x 1080

edit: you might also use the component cable =)

There is no way to do HDMI without an Xbox that was built to use it. There are no cables or converting you can do on an existing box that doesn't. Believe me, I've looked.

Man that sucks

I got kinda "lucky" if you can call it that, that my Xbox 360 Premium which didn't have HDMI had 3 red lights and so I traded it in for the Xbox 360 Elite as soon as it came out and pretty much the same day as when I got the Premium back from MS's Repair Centre.

The only other way would be to get it changed or say it doesn't work and take it back to the shop for a replacement although to be honest this is probably a bit of a long-shot depending on where you bought it
