HDMI Support for originial Xbox 360 ?

[DigiQ8]

Peripheral manufacturer, XMC, has made the surprising claim that a new cable that it has in the works will get an average-joe 360 pumping out a HDMI signal.

HDMI is the highest quality of digital video, used by all PS3s and one of the major new features of the new Xbox 360 Elite.

According to Maxconsole: "The cable itself is nearly finished and will be completed in approximately four weeks and promises to allow 1080p output on a regular white original Xbox 360."

This will just encode the analogue signal to HDMI, you won't get a sharper image or HDCP support once they start using it.

you cant really tell the difference between component and HDMI

Neat. Going to keep an eye on this.

Sure it plugs into an HDMI slot, but it doesn't give you HDMI quality picture.

It's not the same as a native HDMI source. You might get a very slight improvement in colour, but based on the conversion processes, you might not see anything at all. Stick to component, it's your best bet (if you still have an original).

HDMI is over rated. The component connections will give you virtually the same picture quality. I will bet anyone that if I placed you by 2 identical tvs running of the identical source you would not be able to tell which was plugged in using HDMI or componenet. Anyone want to take this wager?
