It’s great to hear about the price drops on the 360, but what’s with the downgrade in cables? A regular old A/V connection? Really? Granted HDMI cables are ludicrously cheap these days, but at least make an effort Microsoft.
And ‘Soft spokesdude Chris Lewis coughs up this lame excuse for the disappearance of high-def cables:
Removing the HMDI cable gives the flexibility to consumers who can then decide which type of cable they want for their specific gaming and TV screen set-up.
Blecch.

At least now everyone can experience the same frustration I did when I set up my Arcade and realized I wouldn’t be able to have surround sound because the 360 doesn’t have optical audio out.
If you have a shiny home theatre that only accepts optical inputs (like myself) you are now officially screwed unless you want to shell out 60 bones for Microsoft’s “first party” HDMI solution. Nice!
Bastards aren’t content with making cash on software anymore, they want to nickel and dime us to death.
Oh, shiny new Twitter and Facebook coming to 360, but you better be GOLD!
I own an Xbox and a Playstation and both are really good game consoles. Let’s see what are Microsoft’s future updgrades on its Xbox game console.,:.
