Yes, we are offering an HDMI port for Xbox 360 simply as another choice in Xbox 360 owners' games and entertainment experience. Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand. |

I guess that means we can all just smash our existing systems for replacements. Or just wait for the ring...
I love how late to the party they are with this and how adamant they were we didnt need it. We all dropped our money for an inferior product. Hopefully we can just get this when we need to invoke the warranty.

» That's funny...
I bought my 360 at launch....and
It still works....
and...the rest of what you mentioned has absolutely nothing to do with playing GAMES on my GAMING machine, the primary reason I bought it.
Also, I could care less about HDMI, I have a widescreen CRT, it's not HD so no big deal....many other people feel the same.
As for releasing an unfinished product....well, if people would not have *****ed and complained about HDMI MS would not have added it in, as it really is not needed....but to shut people up they added a model with it.
Now, to save money on inventory and production they are just adding it to the premium so that they can use the same Mobo as the elite...

» They said you don't need it because you DON'T need it
I have my Elite hooked up thru HDMI, and honestly, it looks no different from component, certainly not a difference you can notice while playing.
And actually, since I have my consoles hooked into a sound system, and since the HDMI cable is sound and video in one, I have to turn my TV volume down or else my 360 will play sounds thru the TV and the sound system, and it's not quite in sync, so this weird echo thing happens. It's annoying.

Sony's strategy right? Sony are a hardware company, so it was no problem for them to include HDMI and Blu-ray into a console which was released ONE YEAR after the 360.

for me the hdmi is not an option i would use since my TV supports the 360 at 1080p thru component cables and my ps3 takes up my only hdmi port
dayone launch console still problem free........ :)

» Unfortunate
This is the classic down side to buying a new console within a couple of years. How many of us has bought a new hand held or console and then a few months or a year later its dropped in price or a newer version is realeased. Nintendo has done it with the gameboy and DS, Sony is releasing a slimmer PSP and now the newer 360 will come standard with and HDMI port. Its the price we pay for wanting something right away :). As much as this sucks, I'm sure that a lot of people could not care about it as not a lot of people have am HD TV anyway. I know a few guys that still plays their 360 of Standard Def TV's.

Sony originally said the PSP would have a TV output, but it wasn't released with that feature.
Now they want you to buy a new PSP (that prohibits homebrew of course) to get TV output. What a load of s*it.
HDMI really isn't necessary. Most games are only rendered at 720p anyway. You can still get 1080p with VGA, and even component on some TVs. HDMI is just becoming more popular on newer TVs.

Sony said rumble wouldn't work in the suxaxis due to the motion sensing when it was really not included due to legal issues with Immersion. So how's this any different than sony adding rumble? At least MS didn't lie about the reason it wasn't originally in the XBOX 360. It really isn't needed! People asked for it, so they modified the 360 and now you're getting it for free!
How the hell does a PS3 fantard turn this into a negative? Dumbasses.

» Please shut up when you don't know the technology
"this means more games in 1080p?? no more stupid 720p crap ported to the ps3 all because of the 360 bottleneck"
What bottleneck? The 360 has been capable of 1080i since the start, and capable of 1080p since the live update LAST YEAR. If a game runs at 720p on the 360, it's due to many factors, but it has nothing to do with the ports.
There are a number of 360 games which are natively 1080p, and a minority of gamers can get them to run at 1080p using component, others using VGA, and those with the Elite via HDMI.
So what are you talking about? 720p games on the PS3 (i.e. the majority of it's games) is due to the limitations of the PS3 hardware (just like the 360), it has nothing to do with the 360.

» Actually, Component can support 1080p you idiot!
"NO! Component is 1080i! Don't be stupid, learn your technology before posting about it!"
You can buy quality component cables which can support a 1080p signal, for example;
http://www.hdtvsupply.com/coca10te2.html
Some gamers ARE able to get 1080p over component on their 360s. It depends on both the cable AND the TV, because even with high quality cables, some 1080p TVs can't go above 1080i with component.
So he IS right when he said "a minority of gamers can get them to run at 1080p using component".
So I suggest you stfu. Ok, I'll be nicer ;), you should take your own advice before calling people stupid and 'learn the technology' yourself. Please do this before coming here to challenge people and making yourself look stupid in the process! :P

Quit trying to blame your crap systems sh*tty performance on it's competitor....face it your system at this point is not as good....maybe in 3 years once they figure it out it will be up to par...but by then i'll be playing MS's next console that runs on a 10ghz quinteplet core processor.....

Playstation 3 you get less for the same, no more hardware backward compatibility, still no rumble, no lasting price cut, no decent games until mid 2008.
Come on sony, if you want to win you have to try harder.

Millions of 360 gamers are more than happy with their console, so how is it a 'half ass project'?
The lack of HDMI in the original 360 model doesn't make it any less a great console, so I fail to see your problem.

As a hardcore 360 fanboy, you would think of the PS3 in this way, but to me, it's a great console. The only thing that puts me off is the price, but that will change over time (I'm not interested in Blu-ray movies, so the extra price doesn't justify the current cost of the PS3 for me).

You tell me 1 person who was happy the day they saw the RROD or when the 360 scratched a disc beyond readability. You are staring facts in the face and ignoring their existence as well as their impact on the average consumer.

» Really?
"well hmmm... half assed would be designing a product that fails at an extreme rate."
The failure rate is unfortunate, but these things happen, just as the DRE error and other problems on the PS2 last gen. That doesn't make the PS2 half assed, and even if you want to argue it does for the 360, there's no way customers are being 'screwed over' by Microsoft as you claim.
But as usual, gamers like you are too childish to respond to fanboys like Mister Common Sense with some common sense of your own. Instead, you take the attitude of "Oh, so you're insulting *my* console are you? Well then, I'm going to insult *your* console in return....so there!". *rolleyes*

Read my post again and this time *try* to understand what I'm saying given the point I was responding to.
I'm not going to break it down just for you. :)

» half ass project
The xbox360 may be a half ass project that breaks but at least 360 owner have fun playing there system with all the great games that came out at launch before it does. What does ps3 have motor storm(sucks), RFOM (sucks), and every game that gets ported to the ps3 from 360 is crap splinter cell is the best example.
and don't flame me fan boy just because I tell it how it is. I'm not a xbox fan boy I'm a gamer.

Yeah I really don't know jack shiat about much. I'm going to waste more money on yet ANOTHER xbox just to get my game fix. It's great how long it took for MS to just get this far and still screw everyone over by offering this now. I'm going to sell my 360 and buy a PS3 already.

» Calm down
Wow it aint even that serious. I think we all can agree that the PS3 and Xbox 360 are fantastic systems both with their ups and downs but getting all worked up solves nothing. So everyone should calm down, take a breather cuz it aint that serious. I think it would be very useful for microsoft and Sony to just combine and make one great system to end all of this fan boy stuff!!!

» Never again
Well, I really do not care about what anybody thinks. Some say, "Nobody forced you to buy a 360 at launch." Some others may say, "All companies update their products. It's part of their strategy. what's the big deal?" Well here is what I say. I Just like these companies have their strategies, I have my own: To NEVER AGAIN support any company in the launch of their product by being an early adopter. It is just not good bussiness from a consumer stand. Look at this non comprhensive facts. Early adopters: Pay higher prices for the product, receive a product full of buggs and malfunctions, get an inferior product compared to improvements done to the same product down the line, get to enjoy the product earlier. People who wait a coupke of years get: A lower price (price cuts), a system with less buggs and malfunctions (since the early adopters were the guinnea pigs, an improved product with better features, a better, wider picture of products from competitors in order to make an informed purchase, but must wait to enjoy the product. To each his own, but I'm not going to be made a chump of by these companies again. Next time, I'll wait until the terns of theri products favor me, the consumer AKA the one who PAYS.

» Grow up...
If most of you are hardcore PS3 fans, then why the hell do you care? This comming from someone who owns all three next-gen consoles, I am completely satisfied with my launch 360 and am quite frankly disapointed with the PS3. Honestly, almost all of the great games are going to be on Xbox 360 anyways, and last time I checked... The PS3 doesn't come with HD Component cables or HDMI cable, which is a large inconvienince for the Blu-ray that they hype so much. Honestly, MS makes the upgraded consoles for hardcore gamers that want to spend the extra money, not because it's an unfinished product. And last time I checked, I thought the PS3 was sucking it up in the console war too...

» Pathetic .... lets talk about something ON THE TOPIC
I seen maybe 3 comments here that were not riddled with fanboyish remarks and rants from the PS3 or 360 side .... you all sound like a bunch of 13 year old sex deprived angry midgets!
Now ..... the real question we should be asking here, is ... has anyone on the boards received any of these new premiumhdmi enabled units?
If so, is it quieter? Like the eLite? Has anyone checked for the fabled extra heatsink? Anyone opened it up to see if its running the new 65nm technology?
I would really like to know about the last question there, considering this will help rid the 360s rep of the ROD. Not only that, it will make me feel safer in my next purchase of an Xbox 360 (I had to cash-in my PS30 and my game collection of both due to stipulations in my student loans I was not aware of).
And since I cannot afford an elite anytime soon, if the new premium units are better built on top of including HDMI, I think I can manage to muster up 350 bucks within the coming months, right in time for the holiday rush. I like the PS3, but a lot of the games I want to play on it are coming in 2008 ... that, and I will not have the money for another PS3 until next year LoL.

My 360 with a manufactured date of July 24 07. I sent mine in for repairs and got back a brand spanking new console. But last I heard, HDMI would be included in all consoles manufactured in July. But I didn't get it. But guess what? I'M HAPPY! HDMI is really just another plugin. It's nothing special.

» just wanted to point out something
The PS3 is doing excellent(4.11 million), it's doing better than xbox 360 did it's first year (something like 4.6 million) and the PS3 still has a couple months left plus they sold 4.11 million /w competition, vs. the xbox 360 which only sold 4.6 w/o competition, course the xbox did do well it's second year so far (5.7 million) but of course this year it gets all its good games, which guess what? ps3 gets all it's good games it's second year also, which is going to be entertaining
Also I seriously don't think it matter if it has an hdmi port I imagine Bill is just making sure more people can use it on there t.v. thats all.
P.S. PS3 is going to emulate ps1 and ps2 games they didn't lose the ability to not play them at all, it's just gonna take a couple of updates, until you can play ps1/ps2 classics.
