They are also moving to a 65nm process shrink from 90mn so the BOM will be even less for M$. We’ll see when this gets released, I’ll be pissed if it’s soon. ---

> [@xcapandinkx](#): > > So… only xbox v.2 can do 1080p or did I read it wrong? All xbox 360s can do 1080p, V2 just has the addition of the HDMI port. So the “older” style would have to do it through component. I do believe that MS will be offering a special cable for V1 owners that will let you use HDMI since there are already about 10 million consoles out already without the HDMI upgrade. ---

I am starting to look into getting a new TV and I don’t know much about HD. i = interlaced, which means that every other line is scanned. p = progressive, which means that every line is scanned. p \> i Get a TV that supports 1080p. ---
