360 mobo with HDMI port

It was fairly obvious something like this would be needed, because AFAIK the video card on the 360 simply doesn't have digital output...

But still, screws over early adopters, not cool!

As always us early adopters get screwed over :down: I'd love to be able to use the hdmi ports on my set someday though.

Has this been vericated yet? Or is it still a potential Photoshop/homebrew mod?

hmmm

If this is true, i just pick up a second 360 and use my original one for any modchips that may come out.

Although that's assuming it's HDMI + HD-DVD. HDMI itself isn't worth the upgrade. VGA output upscales content already. And does everything at 720p. (plus i already use my only HDMI port).

I'm hanging out for the new Xbox360 with the HDMI and HD-DVD.

I reckon it will be out at or before April 2007, and I'll probably only pay sub $500 for it with a game/extra controller - all you early adopters :thefinger:

Outside of increased chance at a faulty console, being an early adopter is a good thing. Nearly all the early modchips or security workarounds are going to work on a launch console :)

And if you think you're going to pick up a premium pack with HDMI, HD-DVD, and a game or controller for $500 or less... you're fucking crazy. That shits over a year away. Especially with PS3 coming out at $999.
