Needless to say, he was using composite cables connected to a 50" 720p HDTV. The 360 was connected over HDMI.

Does Metroid Prime 3 REALLY look that bad compared to 360 games?

 

Assuming an LCD, it's probably the upscaler is his TV is poor and he is getting terrible jaggies.  That is a terrible missmatch in resolution.  Not all upscallers in HD TVs are created equal, and that will make more of a difference then the type of cables you connected with...

Have him try it on a tube or plasma TV if he can, or something that can support 480P natively.
