Default Xbox 360 users, quick question?

Since i got it on sunday i have been hogging the big TV downstairs, the missus has since booted me up into the bedroom

Problem i have is this........



The bloody video cable wont reach the TV without forming a tripwire across the doorway! so im constantly having to unplug it and tidy it away

Can you buy an extended version of the cable? so i can run it under the carpet or around the door?

I have mine in the office room at home and bought a Dolby Digital sound card for the PC that has a DD input as well as a DD output. Why? Well it means I can use the same speaker setup as I use for the PC and still get DD without pissing around with cable swapping and extra speakers etc.

Well worth it imo, if you locate the 360 in the same room as your PC.
