Xbox 360 Coming With HDMI Port? 146
GeekGod writes "Images of an Xbox 360 motherboard with HDMI-port have been leaked on the internet. So it looks like Microsoft will follow into Sony's footsteps and release an Xbox 360 with a digital video output. This might also come in handy for their future HD-DVD addon, certainly when movies will get HDCP-protected."
"HDCP protected" (Score:4, Informative)
All currently available HD DVD and the upcoming Blu-Ray titles are HDCP protected. When they're sent as a digital signal over HDMI or DVI to displays that support HDCP, they're encrypted. The Image Constraint Token (ICT)- part of the standard which halves the resolution when a movie is diplayed over unencrypted DVI or analog outputs- just hasn't been put to use yet, making HDCP non-mandatory.

Not neccesarily true - according to http://www.hdmi.org/manufacturer/faq.asp [hdmi.org] , HDCP reduces the royalty cost of including HDMI on equipment, but is not actually a requirement for HDMI.
