I had a chat earlier with an MS associate and here's that entire chat stating that HDMI cables will be released for the Xbox 360.

{me} Hi, I understand that the Xbox 360 will come with an HD-DVD add-on later in the year, but HD-DVD will require HDMI or DVI cables to output a video signal. And as far as I'm concerned, the Xbox 360 mother-board is fixed in an anolog output. When the HD-DVD drive hits the market, will my Xbox 360 become obsolete with its disability to output in an hdmi cable? Do you know of any hdmi cables that will come out for the 360?
{MS} yes the 360 will soon have HDMI cables released for it soon
{MS} sorry
{me} Will it be compatible on ALL xbox 360 consoles?
{me} The motherboard looks extremely analog to me
{MS} compatible to all
{me} Do you have an estimate on when this will appear on the market?
{MS} not really kevin, just keep checking the website for any updates. ok?
{me} Alright thanks, is it ok with you if I post this chat on some Xbox forums? I will not use your real name to respect your privacy.
{MS} sure kevin
{me} Ok, thanks
