Possible HDMI Port On The 360?

Of course, this is great news for us folks who are looking forward to using the 360 as an HD-DVD player, since the HDMI port will allow us full use of the 1080i image that HD-DVD delivers, and HDCP copy protection will not be an issue.

However, Microsoft has stated before that they are not planning on making 360s with an internal HD-DVD drive, and this leaked image seems to counter their previous stance, as there would be no other reason why an internal HDMI port would be needed.

So what do you guys think? Is this leaked image genuine, or a fake just created to cause a commotion?0

To me, well, I just want to start enjoying HD-DVDs on my 360 as soon as I can, so no matter how this turns out, I won't be affected :biggrin:

As long as I can see V For Vendetta on my 360 in 1080i, I'll be a happy man.

You mean 1080p. 360 already has 1080i.

HDCP won't be an issue, because by the time that roles out, the next set of consoles will likely be out already.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
