Unless ive missed something, the existence of the Zephyr is still wild speculation that remians unconfirmed by microsoft. Until they speak on the matter, it doesnt exist.

I've heard nothing about built in Wi-Fi, just the HDMI port and the 120gb hard drive. Link?

In another post, I remember you saying that Halo was the most over-rated fps ever... That Mass Effect you were getting it for PC.. And the zephyr was the biggest MS scam ever... You cant make one pro-ms comment, and shed your cow skin, its always going to be there.

Not true at all. Component is perfectly able to pass 1080p, you just need a TV that accepts 1080p via component.

No it wasn't. It was posted on some random no name website. Spray paint a 360 black and BAM...your all over the internets. Go find a source that confirmed it.

Here I got some links for you

http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200701/N07.0105.0950.25862.htm

Looks an awful lot like they reprinted an Engadget article. All speculation. Not even CLOSE to confirmation. In fact speculation about an article speculating the existence of the new 360.

5 days later: http://www.gameinformer.com/News/Story/200701/N07.0110.1543.17573.htm

They REPRINT a Gamespot article of Chris Satchel (GM of MS's Game Dev group) saying MS was indeed doing some internal experimentation, but isn't planning on announcing any new revisions.

Sounds like gameinformer.com just wrips-off other websites.....

Posting a video from www.x-scene.com (a MOD site) is not even close to confirmation.

Nah, I don;t need HDMI, there are many types of HD cables and also, Wi-Fi isn't needed for me. Lol.

The only cable that can display 1080p without being downgraded is HDMI.

Really? then how come your computer monitor can output at a higher resolution then 1080p and NOT use HDMI?

Maybe because you dont need HDMI.... You are too gullable. you seem to beleive everything fanboys on this forum talk about... 1080p is not some new uber resolution... people have used alot higher resolution way before HDMI came along.

HDMI is required for the blue ray player, that is why the PS3 needed the HDMI cable. The reason why the 360 is getting it is because some of the newer TV's use HDMI for input ONLY, but the older ones you can just use a regular cable and get 1080p output WITHOUT any downgrading...

and before you talk about "downgrade" from analog to digital signals you might want to take a highschool physics class or at least look it up on wikipedia before you embarass yourself.

I was just doing some viral marketing. anyways heres the truth http://www.afterdawn.com/glossary/terms/hdcp.cfm "HDCP is required for all equipment that use a HDMI connection. Since HDCP is a proprietary technology, it requires a license to be implemented and as part of the license agreement, a manufacturer must agree to limit the capabilities of the other video outputs on a device. This means that in effect, a movie disc can instruct a source player to downgrade the video quality if a user attempts to transmit high definition video content through a connection that doesn't feature HDCP such as VGA and component cables.

Did you just bold certain parts of that quote so others wouldn't read the rest of it? re-read your quote please. HDCP has nothing to do with the 360 or playing games at 1080p.... HDCP is for blue-ray and has nothing to do with gaming at all.

Please explain to me how PC gamers play games at > 1080p without HDMI and for some reason you seem to think 360 gamers cannot?

im awaiting your answer.

so thats why dual link dvi can do over double 1080p? but yes hdmi is the future with the r600 having dual hdmi ports, what your ps3 was meant to have :lol:

Satchell: HDMI 360 Just "Experimentation" 

http://kotaku.com/gaming/gamespot/satchell-hdmi-360-just-experimentation-227705.php

"Existing" and getting to retail are two totally different things. It exists in an MS lab somewhere. That's it.
