I'm not going to pay for an over priced dongle. As someone else said,I might just use the component cable dongle,assuming it works that way. I don't care how it looks.
New Xbox 360s include HDMI

half of the people buying consoles this gen don't even know they are capable of hiDef.
so my tv must be pretty good (rather than broken) considering I can't tell the difference on my screen. Both sources look equally excellent there is just more saturation in my component.

For consumers sake i'd rather they just stuck with what they have decided upon. If i was a guy who bought a Premium 360 i would be quite upset right now that suddenly my "Premium" isn't worth it. Elite was one thing, fine, i'll give them that one, even though they didn't even add a hd-dvd drive into it and it was supposed to be their "Technophile" version. Which i guess would have been pointless anyway since hd-dvd doesn't seem to have the traction of Blu-Ray and not usefull for games according to Microsoft*.
Sorry for ranting, the 360 is no doubt a good console, but these kinds of buisness decisions really just seem so stupid to me. It would just make me hold off on a 360 because frankly i wouldn't know what was next for it.
*I don't remember where i read it on these boards but they specifically said games would not be released on the hd-dvd medium.

If you bought it two weeks before, then yeah, you may feel a bit peeved (even though, notionally there is no difference - they both play games in HD!), however most premium owners have had HD gaming for up to 20 months beforehand, which they wouldn't have had otherwise. These types of changes are par for the course for a console.

Sorry for my ignorance, but what is "DS gaming"?
Typo - HD.

Ah, well that made me less confused hehe
Obviously it's not that big of a deal, but it makes me wonder where they will stop. HD looks marginally better on HDMI as seen in the Eurogamer comparison. I'm just annoyed at it, Mostly because it makes me think of it going the way of Vista

My mistake then,I just assumed the 360 from day one had one.
yea...
I was typing while working with 3 projects on my desk and customers in my ear... I should have elaborated to define: equal with less saturation leading me to prefer the component picture.Wavey committing a Freudian slip. He finally admits openly that he's a faux Sega fan and a true Nintendo fan at heart.

no need to be ashamed of that, we all have a secret desire.
If your DD5.1 amp has HDMI then you don't need an extra audio cable.
Does xbox360 hdmi support more than 2 channel audio? At least this mentions stereo only.
Edit. Nevermind found the formats from here http://www.majornelson.com/archive/2007/05/15/hd-dvd-auto-update-5-07.aspx Supports dd5.1 and dts5.1 formats (though not advanced formats from hd-dvd).
