Confirmed: Xbox 360 Gets HDMI

[admin]

According to, oh just about any source out on the Internet (which scares us to be honest) Microsoft is putting HDMI on all new Xbox 360 Premium game consoles. The idea is that hardcore gamers are all starting use... gasp... digital display - most of which have HDMI inputs. Heck, I game in 1080p on a 100-inch screen in my dedicated theater room. With all the available HD content and high-resolution games it's a wonder it took this long to get the new video format on the gaming console.

This is something that should have been implemented since day 1, and also something they said they would never do.

I have the elite 360, and the HDMI video looks better than it did on my old box in component. However I need to use the audio breakout cable to use toslink since the audio via HDMI has some issues.

AWESOME!

I just sent my 360 in to Circuit City to get replaced with a $400 GC. Guess i can just get the new premium instead of the Elite now...

If you wait a bit longer, you may be able to get one with the new 65nm chips.

Remind me to bring you a barf bag for the all night "Halo 3-A-Rama" after the Audioholics party.

They are already trickling out according to reports. If you get a premium with HDMI you will probably be getting the newer 65nm chip...but there is a 45nm on the way .

I noticed the other day that the Halo 3 version will have HDMI. Not that I want one, but I wonder if it will have the new chip.
