    If you look at the Xbox 360 Component HD AV Cable", you can see they have a special connector at the xbox end of things, it outputs both audio and video.

    Wouldn't it be possible for them to make a new cable that has a HDMI or DVI connector on the other end? I would guess that port outputs digital and it's converted in the cable to whatever formats they need. For example the above cable's has a toslink plug for digital audio - it plugs right into the cable's connector, not the xbox.

    The other thing that makes me think this is possible is that Todd Holmdahl said in an older interview, that "We're poised to hit the sweet spot of the HD market at launch and as the market matures, and we will provide an HDMI for our customers when it makes sense.".

    .NET and SQL Server? First of all .NET itself is part of the -windows- platform. SQL Server is a rather small percentage of their sales.

    The bulk of microsofts profits come from windows and office purely.
