2006-09-04 11:19:31 360 as it is now supports HDMI http://xe360.com/article/Xbox_360_Accessories/3768... Well, during my monthly run through ebgames to check for any previews to write. I found an interesting item come up to display while searching. GameStop Universal Premium HDMI Cable At first glance, I said to myself “what, HDMI is not possible for the Xbox 360.” I also do not claim to be a techno guru with the T.V department but that what they were selling. I was searching around the xbox forums to see if this is old news and an interesting tidbit led to quote from anandtech posted by Nielo TM: "Originally we assumed the chip below was a TV encoder, but we've since found out that the TV encoder on ATI's Xenos GPU is identical to what is on the ATI Radeon X1000 series of PC graphics cards - meaning the Xbox 360's TV encoder is located on the Xenos GPU itself and makes use of ATI's Xilleon display engine.” "The display engine also features the hardware that actually drives the display output, and Avivo has a number of enhancements here. Dual 400MHz 10-bit per component DAC's remain, as in previous graphics implementations, however this time the TV-Out display engine has been lifted directly from ATI's consumer electronics Xilleon processor (this engine can be found to be driving the displays of many Sony televisions, for example). The last generation of Radeon products only integrated a single link, 165MHz, TMDS transmitter for DVI output, however Avivo products will feature two integrated dual link transmitters, hence two digital panels can be independently driven to 2048×1536 @ 75 Hz or 2560x1600 resolutions." Click Here to read the whole article by anandtech. To reiterate what the above quotes mean is that the Xbox 360 is capable of producing digitial image/audio output. Hopefully I'm not breaking old news to everyone but it is still going to be a interesting view of a Xbox 360 HDMI Cable. The GameStop Universal Premium HDMI Cable is schedule for release on December, 1st 2006 for 99.99 dollars (not surprising). --- |

2006-09-04 14:43:50 From what I've gathered, the ps3 HDMI cable is supposed to cost about 20-30 Euro's, so about 30-40 Dollars. --- |

2006-09-04 14:54:47 I highly, highly doubt that its going to be that cheap, Ive yet see a hdmi cable for less than 60 dollars, and the thing broke after a month, my dad was so pissed he just switched back to vga. --- |

2006-09-04 16:53:18 I bought a HDMI cable for my HD upscale dvdplayer and it cost me like 35$ and still working (I've had it for like 5-6 months), and that should be a regular HDMI right? Since I'm not that into the market and what's what i don't now but it says HDMI :P |

2006-09-04 17:00:08 this is retardation. what the chip supports is IRRELLEVANT. you need an EXTRA chip to support HDCP, which isn't there, and the connector itself doesn't support HDMI. |

Secondly it's been talked about to death, it's likely that both the PS3 and 360 won't be using HDCP, did you forget that the cheap PS3 don't have HDMI/HDCP either ? Thirdly as for your HDMI cables for $5 i think thats bollox show me, and even if you could i doubt they would be much good. |

2006-09-04 18:38:39 Xbox360 has no need for an HDMI cable anyway… And the VGA cable is the best option for picture quality, at least for games. |

2006-09-04 18:46:16 In reply to Jollipop (2006-09-04 18:27:08) Posted by Jollipop Firstly you need more than 1 chip for HDCP everything from the CPU to the GPU has to be HDCP compatible. Secondly it's been talked about to death, it's likely that both the PS3 and 360 won't be using HDCP, did you forget that the cheap PS3 don't have HDMI/HDCP either ? Thirdly as for your HDMI cables for $5 i think thats bollox show me, and even if you could i doubt they would be much good. http://store.4linkcomm.com/hdmatohdmago1.html If you think that there is a difference between the $5 hdmi cable and the $100 ones then you're just the kind of sucker the guys selling the $100 cables are looking for. |

Edit: Also, if they ever decide to start using HDCP, the "cheap" PS3 won't be displaying those movies in 1080p atleast. |
