microsoft brand toslink optical rca audio adapter

post #1 of 6
Thread Starter 
Does anyone know where I can pick up the microsoft brand toslink optical rca audio adapter. On bestbuy.com they list it included with the hdmi cable, but that is not correct. It is only the hdmi cable.

Hdmi Cable

I was going to get it because it said it included it, but nope does not. False advertisement in bold. I went there yesterday had them open the box and only the hdmi cable.

Prepare for enhanced audio enjoyment. This HDMI Cable provides you with separate audio and video connections via the included audio adapter. The audio adapter allows HDMI video to be routed to your HDTV, while the audio is routed separately to your home speaker system.

Without the audio adapter, the video and audio signals would both be carried by the HDMI cable. That would force users without a costly HDMI receiver to listen to their Xbox 360 game and movie audio via their TV speakers. That is not the case with the included adapter you'll be able to hear every blast, word, music note and sound effect through your home entertainment system speakers for audio that really packs a punch.

Looks like the Microsoft HDMI cable just does not come with a TOSLINK cable and you will have to get it separately. The Amazon description of the cable is very clear about this.

Yes but if you read the desc I copied off of BB website it shows it is included. I have sent an email about this to get it fixed.

they're just using the description from the OLD (pre-slim) product.

If that is the case, it needs to be fixed is all I am saying.

If your still looking for the adapter, you can get it cheap from Gamestop. I bought one for like 3 - 4$ (maybe was even cheaper).
