These extra features are, in fact, dedicated video outputs for each and every format the Xbox 360 supports, namely composite, S-Video, component, and VGA. Whereas owners in need of various outputs would previously have had to shell out a considerable amount of cash for specific dongle cables, the Air Flo 360 offers each and every output with no need for individual purchases. As such, all it takes to see if VGA looks better on your HDTV is a male-male VGA wire that is probably already kicking around the house. The diverse range of outputs are also useful for 360 gamers on the go, as carrying all the dongle wires to make sure you can play on your grandmother's ancient CRT as well as your computer monitor at work would be a serious hassle. The Air Flo 360 also expands the 360's single rear USB port into four, in case you're running short for some reason.
Pelican added a nice touch to the Air Flo 360 package by including a component video wire so as not to force owners to buy extra if they happen not to have a spare male-male wire on hand. The Air Flo 360's retail price of $29.99 is about $10 more than competing products, though considering the added features the Air Flo boasts, the price seems pretty reasonable. 360 owners feeling the need for some extra cooling and diverse video outputs are advised to check it out.
