GameStop is now accepting preorders for Madcatz' new Xbox 360 HDMI Conversion Kit. It's an add-on that's meant to replace component outputs in older, non-HDMI Xbox 360s to support HDMI. While Madcatz promises that the kit will allow full resolutions up to 1080p, the privilege will cost you $90. Yeah, that's quite a bit of cash considering that it's 20% of the price of a new Xbox 360 Premium bundle. More »

I may very well be one of the only people with this problem, but HDMI-enabled devices are a total pain in the ass for me. That's because when I bought my television there weren't many out there with multiple HDMI in ports, so mine only has one. And I have a cable box, PS3 and Xbox 360 Elite that all use HDMI. So I bought the only switcher I could find at the time, a 2-1 splitter, and just manually swap cables, which is a pain in the ass. More »

While Gizmodo's Brian Lam was practically dry-humping the endless rows of high-end cabling, theater seating, hydraulic desks (which I tagged the Upskirt 2K because they had booth babes riding it up to eye level), I found very little gaming wise to talk up.

Brave NeoGAF member and Kotaku Defense Force lieutenant "wonderkins" was bold enough to crack open the chassis on his brand new Xbox 360, one of the newly released Premiums with HDMI output. This inside look at the gory internal workings of the newest Xbox 360 is now largely assumed to be off the "Zephyr" variety, following the motherboard and heatsink form factor of the Xbox 360 Elite. What's that mean? The latest hardware release from Microsoft is most likely not of the "Falcon" 65nm manufacturing spec, meaning the arrival of cooler, smaller, hopefully more reliable CPUs is still unknown. More »

Good news, brick and mortar store shoppers! Because as we broke earlier, the new HDMI-equipped Xbox 360 Premiums are clearly marked for your consumer discretion. And one photobucket philanthropist has posted exactly what these markings look like. As you can see in this side by side, the Premium's list is WAY longer than the Core's with the addition of HDMI.

Chalk one up for Ars Technica's Opposable Thumbs crew and their Xbox 360 "insider" as newer versions of the Xbox 360 (non-Elite versions) with HDMI output have already begun appearing in stores. A commenter in a Shacknews thread boasted of his recent 360 acquisition, wondering why his Xbox 360 Premium came equipped with an extra audio/video port. More »

Hey, PLAYSTATION 3 owners, the official PlayStation blog drops word that new firmware is scheduled for tomorrow.

Specialty retailer Gamestop is kicking off Xbox 360 Elite pre-orders tomorrow, in anticipation of the new, blacker console's bow on Sunday the 29th. The Elite, which sports HDMI output and a 120GB hard drive, will debut for a retail price of $479.99. I have no idea if Gamestop and EBGames will sell a base, non-bundled package at that price, but I have my doubts. We'll check in with them tomorrow. More »

Always get an iffy feeling posting black Xbox 360 stories — Especially ones that pop up in April. Yes, we know that the debug unit is black. And yet, the rumor continues to surface. This month's Game Informer says that a black Xbox 360 with larger 120GB hard drive, HDMI output and an HDMI cable will retail for approximately US $479. It does not include HD-DVD playback. A well-placed source at Microsoft tells GI that the reason is because the "format's not proven." Then again, neither is this rumor. And if this is in fact an April Fool's Joke, we've got two words: Not funny. Brian Ashcraft More »

Holy snot! Just take a look at Japanese gadget critic Yoshio Ohara's set-up. So sweet that a 20GB PS3 was hauled over to his house to see how it would look connected with a US $1,200 HDMI cable and projected on a 200-inch theater screen. Once hooked up, things like reading the print on the initial screens were difficult — Most likely, due to the fact the game wasn't designed for 200 inches. That aside, playing Ridger Racer 7 was compared to riding a theme park ride. Can you imagine? Brian Ashcraft More »

Engadget has posted a picture of what they are saying is the second Xbox 360, codenamed Zephyr. How is it different from the original? Well the biggest change is the HDMI port, allowing for full 1080p. The second change is the much awaited 120GB hard drive. No word yet on whether the system will come with a built-in HD DVD drive or not. Indeed there is no official word from Microsoft about the system at all. More »

An mysterious source sent game site Xbox-Scene blurry photo of a Xbox 360 motherboard with a HDMI-port. Perhaps this insider was nervous, snapping a sneaky photo. Or perhaps, full of snot. Who knows? This is the third motherboard like this the insider has seen apparently, but it's not yet known whether it will be released publicly or included just in the Premium. There are rumblings that it will be included in a brand new bundle altogether. Like I said, who knows? But if this is true, bummer for early adaptors. Brian Ashcraft More »

The kids at Xbox-Scene tipped us off today that they've received—from an anonymous source, natch—the above conspicuously blurry, but well compositioned photo. Their tipster claims we're looking at an Xbox 360 motherboard with a brand spanking new, not yet announced HDMI out port. Speculation leads one to believe that this may be an early look at a new version of the console; the oft-rumored but recently quashed HD-DVD internal drive, super-duper premium version Xbox 360.
