Not to HDMI :)
Não vai sair nenhum cabo HDMI para a Xbox 360 com o HD-DVD como já esperava.
>> Major Nelson's latest blogcast (kinda) confirms (around min. 44:00) that the HD-DVD add-on won't support HDMI or DVI digital video output. That would mean that if and when the film studios decide to support the Image Constraint Token (ICT), the Xbox 360 will be forced to down-res the display output.
The addon will use the video output of the console and while Microsoft still doesn't want to officially deny the possibility of a HDMI cable/pack for the Xbox 360 it doesn't look very likely (also see A/V output). If it really was possible with a simple cable and without internal redesign of the Xbox 360 they would say it, don't you think?:
* Major Nelson (Larry Hyrb): "Talk to me about HDMI. What kind of output is this [HD-DVD accessory] gonna have?"
* Mark (a.k.a. The Xbox Accessories Guy): "The video output is handled by the console. So you're gonna plug in the standard A/V packs that you're already using today... and I think the question is really, "hey, is there gonna be a HDMI pack?" ... You know, we continue to look at that stuff. Today, component is great for HD; lets you get all the signal that you want out on all the TVs that are really out there. We continue to look at this from a market perspective. I think our competitors are doing the same thing, and we'll keep investigating that in the future. Don't really have anything..." (trails off)
