360 won't HD
Mmmm... Cocks...

I brought my 360 home and I can't get it to display in HD. I have it hooked up via component cables directly to our TV.
If I turn the "HD switch" off on the component cables I get picture and no matter what I get sound.
Funny thing is just last week I saw my buddy playing his Xbox on his HDTV in SD. I said he was crazy and went to switch up some settings (being in college I run into people with poor settings all the time).
But it just wouldn't set and I'm in the same situation now. When I brought it home I grabbed a spare set of component cables (though official 360 ones that shipped with a console) Is there some incompatibility between older and newer cables? I know they did some crazy shit with the power cables a while ago. I remember we switched power cables and one worked on the other but not the other way around (newer ones were backwards compatible).
Edit: what I was getting at but didn't really mention is its likely me and this guy switched AV cables. But I've never heard of something like this.

open your dashboard, or maybe its on your "my xbox" tab.
Go all the way to the right to system settings, and there should be a display resolution, or hd, or something like that. there is where you will actually change the output rez.
Hope that helps
