I really like 1 comment in that site:
"The pic also begs the question, how will one use optical audio and HDMI? I realize HDMI carries the audio but I'm not about to trot out and buy a new receiver that handles HDMI switching. That said, I'm not about to replace my current 360 for HDMI either..."

Now....for sure...if it is true...most people would not only need to buy a new xbox 360..but a new HT receiver too...sigh....

so...djin..can start a pre-oerder for the new version of xbox 360..just kidding...

The new version of xbox 360 will only be released on late 2007 >>> http://www.digg.com/gaming_news/Paul_Thurr...oming_Late_2007

???????

How much is the elite version..I might be interested too????

There goes my budget for PS3....lol...just kidding..DJinn..still no news on PS3 singapore version pricing???? Not forget to mention..the xbox 360 elite pricing too...

Excerpt from teamxbox.com on sony reaction:

Ahead of the official announcement, Sony has responded to Microsoft's Xbox 360 Elite. Peter Dille, senior vice president of marketing for Sony Computer Entertainment America, said:

"We think every PlayStation 3 owner should have an "elite" experience, which is why we include an internal hard drive and HDMI output in every PS3 we sell, along with the 50 GB of storage capacity on a high definition Blu-ray disc. Sony has been the strongest advocate of high definition as the future of next-generation gaming. This requires high-definition components, including HDMI output, and large storage devices to deliver and store all that rich and vivid HD content. Microsoft's announcement today not only legitimizes Sony's PS3 strategy, it moves us closer to adopting universal standards in the area of high definition gaming that will benefit game developers and ultimately the end user.

Maybe I should add Peter Dille response..... an elite experience with few interesting game titles to play with[....

i guess someone in this world is thinking hard on how he/she can provide the upgrade process for hdmi support through an additional chip upgrade..expect for this kind of item/svc in 1 mnth time after the launch of elite....

Let me ne the first to put my name to pre order this beast..DJinn..I'm IN..PS3 can wait....NO LiVe..No Life....No pS3..More LiVe.....in 360 lah...100% confirmed...how much the deposit.Thanks

Who needs Elite anyhow..latest news..as I predicted earlier in this thread...

Microsoft prepping component to HDMI adapter?

"Friendly tipster Evan M wasn't too stoked to see an Xbox 360 Elite headed for store shelves after he'd just purchased a Premium 360, especially considering the fact that his TV has a whole HDMI port twiddling its thumbs, just waiting to get its game on. After informing Microsoft of his displeasure through what we're sure was a politely worded email, Evan claims to have received a slightly encouraging response from a Microsoft support person, promising an upcoming HDMI to component adapter for the 'box to make his situation perhaps a bit more bearable. Unfortunately, the support person also mentioned that "we do not have information as of the moment if the cable will be sold separately," which might mean such an adapter is only destined for sales with some sort of updated Premium SKU, at least for the immediate future. We'll keep our eyes peeled."

If only hollywood will allow it???? Hmmm..another well kept secret from Microsoft again...

the 65nm is not a big huh ahh for me...i just want the hdmi connection.....

copied from the same thread..dont be surprised when u get your new elite...with the beast inside it...lololololol




Attached thumbnail(s)

Most people will buy the elite because of the hdmi connection...especially for 1080p resolution for their xbox 360 and hd-dvd add on. Whoever said there is no difference at all if compared with the component input ....is really a jock. As in my case, I even c a different that the red push in my lcd tv is already disappear when I cahnge my connection from componet input to vga for 1080p resolution...for both of my xbox and hd-dvd add on. I believe the PQ through hdmi input ..will be at par or even better than my current vga connection....
