Well lucky me I guess. My Pioneer VSX reciever has HDMI switching AND component switching. My Phillips HDTV has 1 HDMI input. And luckily my cable provider's Digital reciever's have HDMI instead of DVI and Optical!!! I lucked out a bit I think. I have had my reciever for 3 month's, have been waiting on word about HDMI. I was very excited to hear the pinouts have been determined, when I read the news page this morning. I already have the cable hooked up through HDMI (BADASS). I think one of the first mods I attemt will be a HDMI output plug similar to the coax mods of the xbox. And I know someone is going to say..."If you can afford a 1000 dollar reciever, why can't you buy a 20 dollar cord??"
To which I say..."Where's the fun in that, this is xbox-scene dammit!!"
And for all of you who haven't experienced HDMI. The difference...IS...noticable, in both video and sound. Almost to the degree of comparing Composite (Red, White, Yellow) to Component (Red, Blue, Green+audio)
I will be keeping my eye on this forum for breakthrough's in modded AV out.
I do have a quick off topic question though. Will the 360 upscale DVD to 720p, 1080i?
I am sure this is covered somewhere. Just checking.
