Default Has anyone viewed 1080p from the Xbox360?

I like ho weveryone ahs been sucked inot the hype that is XBox360 HD-DVD support.

There is no HDMI cable for the XBox360 that I can find... so the "upgrade" to allow 1080p support seems moot at best, down right dishonest marketing at worst.

It would seem that component inputs on the majority of TV's support 1080i max res.

So you buy the HD-DVD drive for your Xbox360 for $200, buy/rent a bunch of HD-DVD's that would in theory be 1080p movies, but only playable as 1080i on your big screen HDTV...

Not to mention the games will only be 1080i...

So it looks as if Sony blew Micro$haft right out of the water with this Blu-Ray thing

Oh - and GT4 at 1080i upscaled to display on 1080p looks pretty much the same as PGR3 at 1080i..

So it looks like Forza2 will not even be as good in the visual department as GTHD, a free demo

XBy360's feel free to chime in and stand up for the XBox

Oh - and let me know where I can find a pirate HDMI accesorie cable
