Yup you heard it right.The Hdmi portis finally on every version of xbox 360 (arcade,pro and elite).Now in case you dont know what HDMI is, it is aone connection hook-up cable to yourHDTV and displays the highest HD resolution of 1080P. Why is it so great? Well itis not for everybody.Today's HDTVsdon't support componant cables (the cables that come with the pro) so thats why it is important but also because its just one cable instead of the 50000 cables that come with component.It's not important to some some ppl b/c they dont have hdtvs that suport 1080P but also b/c it only displays copy-right content in 1080P. That means if you were to play ahome videodvd it would downscale to the smaller and non-HD resoultion 420i/p. But only can component display 1080P for Xbox 360 games only (with a online update). With a Xbox 360 anything other than games andanything withinthe system software, The Dashboard,will be forced to be displayed in 420i/p (with component of course and xbox live market place HD downloads including movies, TV show and game demos' will play in 1080p viacomponent, HDMI or VGA). But there's more than just Component and HDMI thers VGA. A VGA adpater is to connect to a computer moniter but not only that it displays everything in 1080P. Thats right everything. The only problem is its only for you LCD Computer moniter.Well this is all realy difficult but you'll have to choose between these things. If you had no idea of whatI just said and know that you dont have a HDTV still go with the PRO prackage b/c it also comes with non-HD cables (composite) and the mostimportant thingof all the Hard Drive. If you want to use Xbox live marketplace alot and have a HDTV that supports HDMI and want to download alot of HD contentgo with the elite console becuase it comes with the hard drive and HDMI CABLES. But wait hold on. What about The new 65-NM Falcon chip that makes the 360 run cooler and quiter and stops it from over-heating and making the console fail. Well its been reported that it has been seen on xbox 360's and im guessing it will appear in the holiday consoles
