Xbox 360 Premium Quietly Gets HDMI Port
I'm sure you've heard about the price drop that was just announced for the Xbox 360; the Xbox 360 Premium model has dropped from $400 to $350. However, more quietly, Microsoft has also added a freebie into the mix - a hardware refresh that includes an HDMI port, previously available only on the Elite model. This was rumored at first, and now has been confirmed.
Microsoft confirmed late Wednesday the existence of newly updated Xbox 360 units that include HDMI support. The news comes amid reports that new machines are now available in stores coinciding with today's price drops. The company denied comment on the port addition to cheaper Core models not to mention the rumored cooler running processors.
Retailers probably still have stock of the older units, so look for an HDMI logo on the box to ensure you receive the updated version.

My current DVD player is a Sony upconverting model that I purchased open box @ Circuit City about 2 years ago or more for 80 bux. My point is MS could have included it in the 1st place... marketing strategy. |

Actually they couldnt have, HDMI was fairly new and really offered no differences between that and component, now we have HDMI 1.3 or 1.4 i forget that has a much better color pallete so there is actually a good reason to have Hdmi now besides it becoming a standard of course. |

Whatever... I could care less about consoles anyway. I've already gone through 2 360s and played alot of PS3, they're both inferior to PC games IMO.
