    Saw that the other day, sorta hoping my 360 red rings so they replace it with a hdmi vers.

    oh and mass effect and bioshock and halo 3 coming out within 4 weeks and GTA not to far behind.

    High Definition Multi-media Interface I believe.

    It will also be coming to the core system as well, I think.

    The big thing about the elite is the hard drive. 20GB of space is just not enough, 120GB is much better.

    That's one thing I don't like about the 360 and like about the PS3.. you can replace the HD yourself.

    It's the single best physical interface currently in use for HDTV and Surround Sound.

    so if I bought a premium right now, it would be HDMI? Or is it just if it breaks?

    'cause I'm thinking of buying a premium one now. (halo 3 and guitar hero)

    how much is one anyway?

    You MAY get an HDMI output if you buy a premium. Articles I have read say that it will be clearly marked on the box if it has HDMI. There are still tons of old premium versions floating around retailers.

    Here is the new pricing layout (before and after).

    Core: $299 -> $249
    Premium: $399 -> $349
    Elite: $479 -> $399

    I've read some articles saying that the elite was only going down to $449 but more seem to say $399.
