X-Box 360 video outs?

[incurable]

I was wondering if there is any information on what video outs (component? DVI? HDMI w/ or w/o HDCP?) the 360 is going to support, as I haven't been able to find much on the few sites I read up on it. Or did I just miss it?

Component is a given. Personally i think they'll support DVI too, which is compatible with HDMI anyway, just need an adapter. Same for VGA.

If it outputs in DVI-D, VGA won't work. and that's what I expect, I could be wrong though.

There is a DVI-VGA adapter, but i think it's a VGA-to-DVI adapter...? I have one of those...

DVI-I works with both digital and analog monitors.

Yes but it only works if the signal is DVI-A as in analog. If it outputs DVI-D like dvd-players it won't work.

I thought DVI-I was common nowadays and worked with both..?

Well yes that is possible, but if it already has analog component, I don't think they are going to support analog also from the DVI/HDMi output. Also many displays only support digital signal on it's DVi socket.

Well, that would be ignoring the MANY people with monitors that only have VGA inputs. And Component-to-VGA transcoders aint exactly cheap.
Why wouldn't they support analog DVI as well as digital? It's not gonna drive cost up by much is it? Genuine question, i don't know...

I don't see a reason why they can't output analog or digital from a DVD-I output connector.

Well Even Xbox didn't have first party VGA-box, the best one came from china, and I have a feeling it won't be supported this time either, However I don't have any solid proof for that, it's just a hunch.

Actually X360 will probably have same kind of output as the current one, or then two one digital, one analog, I'm sure atleast third parties will sell VGA-box for it.
