Being an avid video gamer in my free time, I had bought a brand new Xbox 360 in the Fall of 2011 for the first time. The version I purchased, officially did not have a HDMI Cable in the box, so I looked for one online, and purchased one via Amazon.
The package arrived on time, but instead of being in a box, it can in a sealed plastic bag, with bubble wrap around it, and in a large envelope. There was no Official Xbox 360 HDMI packaging by MicroSoft.
Since there was no official company packaging, I was ready to return the HDMI Cable, because I was not sure if it was Brand New, or used.
However, I decided to call a very good friend of mine on the phone for some advice. At the time, he worked in an Gaming/Entertainment Store, and he knows just about everything there is to know about Video Game & HD TV Audio-Video Set-ups.
Basically, he advised me not to bother sending the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable back to the store I ordered it from. Why? Because, he told me that as long as the HDMI Cable was new & not damaged, I should keep it and use it. He said that paying tons of money for HDMI cables was a waste of money, because it really makes no difference, as far as on-screen quality goes, when compared to more affordable HDMI cables, like the one I had just bought.
So, I kept and used the Xbox 360 HDMI Cable. Upon closer examination, it turned out to be a new Official MicroSoft Product, only is grey in color, and not black.
Of course, it would have been more convenient to have had the HDMI Cable, arrive in it's official packaging, so that I would have instantly known it was a brand new Official MicroSoft Xbox 360 Product.
The HDMI Cable has worked so far for me, in terms of playing Xbox 360 games, with no problems. Just note that the store you order it from (named Direct Distributor), may not send it to you, in it's Official Package, for whatever reason.

Double Check to Make Sure Your Xbox Has HDMI Option
Reviewed in the United States on August 22, 2017
Failed to mention that another adapter was necessary for some Xbox's. This is nothing more than an HDMI Cord. My Xbox does not have an HDMI port, so I had to purchase an adapter just to use the HDMI cord. Otherwise, OK product. Just be sure to check your Xbox and make sure there is an HDMI port to connect with the TV. Comes in legit, original packaging. But, as you can see on the back of the Xbox, it has the AV hookup, an Ethernet hookup and a USB hookup, no HDMI. Double check before you buy.
