No, seriously, what is this thing? Considering the absolute dearth of information given on GameStop's pre-order page, we're left to surmise that the Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit exists (er, will exist) simply to allow those who purchased their Xbox 360 before the days (http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/24/hdmi-equipped-xbox-360-core-system-shows-up-for-pre-order/) of built-in HDMI (http://www.engadget.com/2007/08/08/microsoft-officially-adds-hdmi-to-xbox-360-premium/) to utilize one of the dusty HDMI sockets on their TV / receiver. Granted, we're sure hoping there's more to this thing than that, or else we're left wondering who's desperate enough to drop $89.99 to free up a single component input.
Update: Turns out this thing does indeed support 1080p, and it'll come with "free" HDMI and optical audio cables, too. Check out the PDF here (http://images.madcatz.com/sales_sheets/4744MCB-SS.pdf). Thanks, PerfectVirus!
