It wont affect the 360 as that will be running in standard TV mode.

All should work ok - you just won't get the advanced features / resolutions working.

As far as I understand it, the 360 works fine on standard TVs, and so should the DVD player - but i could be wrong - worth checking on the avforums (google em)

Does work fine on a standard tv (the HDTV/TV switch on the cable is a give away) even MS are not stupid enough to release a HD only console

As above tho you will be missing out on the full sexiness of 360 HDTV
