Xbox 360 t.v lead help needed
My brother, is lazy, and has been promising to send me a lead for my xbox 360, which will supposedly enhance the display, but I have given up waiting, and can't get hold of him to ask him what it is I need.
I have a standard straight out of the box Xbox 360, with the wireless controller and harddrive.
My brother gave me is old non HD CRT Sony Trinitron telly. He says I need something called a "composite lead" for better picture quality?
I've tried looking on the internet but get confused by all the gubbins. My telly just has scart inputs. My x-box lead has two lots of three wires coming out of the end one set Red White Yellow which go into a scart plug thingy, the other Red Green Blue, which is something to do with HD which I don't have.
Is there a better lead for my telly, and what is it? I don't want to waste ?20 on something that doesn't work and I don't need.

Would that ^^ make much difference than the one that I got as standard, for instance?
In terms of picture quality it varies from worst to best, as below:
RF (aerial signal, eg from the Speccy, SEGA RF modulator etc) - carries picture and audio on one wire.
Composite - carries picture only on one wire.
Svideo - Carries picture in the form of chrominance (colour) and luminescence (brightness) on two wires.
RGB - Carries picture in the form of seperate Red, Green and Blue signals on three wires.
Component (not the same as composite) carries the picture signal on three seperate wires, but it's not the same as RGB. Quality is no better/worse than RGB. More common in the US where they don't often have the SCART standard.
