Microsoft Confirms HDMI Xbox360 on XNA GSE forums
Posted by XanTium | March 25 22:26 EST | News Category: Xbox360
For those who still don't believe an Xbox360 with HDMI port is coming a Microsoft XNA Framework Developer probably unintentionally confirmed it for you. To this question asked on the official XNA Game Studio Express forums: "Will the HDMI output on the revised 360 require any code changes. I am hoping some developers have a beta unit and can answer this question." He answered: "No changes required."
The first HDMI-enabled Xbox360 will probably be a Black 'Elite' limited edition that will also come with a 120GB HD and will retail for $479 in April 2007. Some blogs/sites claim Microsoft will announce it this week. The 120GB HDD addon and Black accessories will probably also come out in April. And according to our sources close to Microsoft, the normal Pro and Core Xbox360 SKUs will also get a HDMI port in ~June 2007.

older 360s will still run and play everything you bought it without hdmi knowing that. its only usefull for those with hd sets anyways and you can still use vga to get high def anyways.

Yeh I'm waiting liek the rest of you for these xbox's to be released. If they do it smart they will sell alot more 360's. HDMI+120 gig HDD=me buying a 360 (providing you can still change the firmware). Hopefully it will have the smaller cpu as rumored and hopefully soon enough all games will use the HDD to cache data so that games load faster.
