Core and Premium will get boosted!! - Aug 09, 2007 10:22
" a new version of the Core and Premium hardware in late August or September that will include an HDMI port. It' s also expected that this new hardware will feature the 65nm process for the CPU and quieter DVD drives. The new hardware will ship in boxes very similar to what we saw on store shelves now, but there will be a small " call out" on the box so you know you' re getting a system with the HDMI connection."

Even if you break 2 legs from a crab it still runs!
What you gotta do is find its weak spot and do massive damage at it.

Hmmm they added a port I won' t use and a hardware change that won' t affect me.

Whatever.

So they are still producing the Core???, and what if the one you already own breaks, will they replace the processor -if such piece is the faulty one- with the new, smaller one.

Just because you don' t have a good enough display to use it doesn' t mean it doesn' t matter.

Ahum people HDMI is just one way to get HD.
So is component/DVI and VGA too.

I love tehse people who think something magically will happend with HDMI.

Your TV quality matters way more then what kind out output it has.
Some people hasn' t realised that yet.

Yes, that is all true, but if you have a good TV which has HDMI, its your best bet out of all of those, unless you don' t care about sound, in which case DVI is just as good.

Compnent and VGA aren' t as good though.

I' m component 360 and HDMI PS3, and I must say, that even on my 133" screen you' d be hard pressed to tell the difference when I put in an HD-DVD or Blu-ray.

Of course, this is at 720p.

So if I manage to get a RROD on my premium 360 it will turn into one of those cuties?

Nope, if they' re doing what' s said, you' ll just get the 65nm processes, which is certainly the best part of the deal.

Um, who doesn' t have a TV that takes HDMI nowadays?

I just don' t give a *** about it because there is no difference between component and HDMI, if you had a good enough display that used both you would know. I use HDMI on my PS3 for shits and giggles, not because I care.

People here who thinks HDMI is so important are the ones who fell for Sony' s marketing BS, I feel sorry for you. The only significant advantage of HDMI over component as far as image quality is conserned is that some TVs won' t do 1080p with component cables.

Having a 360 with a motherboard that won' t melt along with a 65nm cpu and a disc drive that doesn' t sound like a jet engine IS the real news, not the fucking HD cable. When I get a new 360, I won' t even bother with HDMI unless it comes with the cable.

100% Agreed

Im getting the new 360 because its 65nm, I actually have HDMI cables laying around, but I can' t be bothered to find them so I will just use component since it makes no fucking difference.
