HDMI for the Xbox360 wasn't mentioned!

Most likely it is not coming! I didn't think Microsoft was stupid enough to say we now have 10.4 million XBOX 360 owners and guess what, we now have a new console!! Lets sell another 10.4 million to the same customers! :)

True that you can still run all the games and what not, but its the fact of the point that people just purchased items for their loved ones at Christmas and it is already now outdated for a new model. Only Apple has the tactless PR to do this to customers after a huge Holiday Season.

A fairly minor update to the 360 isn't exactly CES keynote material.

So the whole video marketplace thing looks pretty cool. I think I heard her say it's all available now? The video marketplace i'm looking at on my xbox right now is nothing like it. I also noticed that you can download huge HDTV movies that would never fit on the xbox hard disk too so they must be releasing MUCH larger disks at some point

Adding Full Digital 1080p support with possible HDCP support is a pretty major update. People with v1 of XBOX 360 may end up being crippled one day due to this update if/when HDCP is currently established and the HD-DVD player will no longer support v1. I am for adding HDCP in a later edition of XBOX 360, but not 7 days after a huge holiday season and so short into the start of the products life.

Analog to Digital isn't minor! :)

I think it's only available in the US right now.

Adding a video output port to their game console just wouldn't have flowed with the keynote. Take my word for it.

i figured all they are gonna do is just create a lil plug with the HDMI port on it but still plugs into the regular port that's on there now with the optical. Think of the component cables box thing now but just cut off the cables and you get my drift. That would be the best thing since then they could make lots more money via sales of an accessorie instead of redesigning to get it built in. the PS3 was designed with it in mind so great for them... the output from the 360 is already digital i'd assume, the box with the TV/HDTV switch either just tells the xbox to switch modes or it acutally does some sort of conversion there.

      yes AND no the "original" or plain/normal Optiplex 7010 won't be getting any more new firmware updates BUT the Optiplex SFF/SFF Plus {small form factor}, Micro/Micro Plus & Tower/Tower Plus 7010 editions DO get new updates such as this new one   and here are similar guides from the Dell web site for Dell systems: https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000390990/secure-boot-transition-faq https://www.dell.com/support/kbdoc/en-us/000347876/microsoft-2011-secure-boot-certificate-expiration

    • Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now

      Edifier S3000MKII hi-fi audiophile grade bookshelf speaker is at its lowest price now by Sayan Sen Yesterday we covered a bunch of Dolby Atmos soundbar deals with several ones from Sony, as well as from JBL, Samsung, Polk Audio, and more. You can check them out in this dedicated piece. Those are not audiophile category speakers though as they are built with home theater use in mind. If you are searching for the former then Edifier has its S3000MKII at its lowest price at the moment (purchase link under the specs table down below). This is a two-way bookshelf monitor speaker designed to produce accurate sound. While it may not produce the best high-fidelity audio possible out there, it should still be significantly better than what you will get on soundbars of this price range. As such it will do justice to high-res audio played back through it. The only thing that may feel lacking is sub-bass as Edifier claims the unit can go down to 38 Hz, which should be enough for studio monitor purposes, but not for deep room-shaking rumbling bass. Where this does excel though is in its treble reproduction. With its super-tweeter, it claims to go as high as 40 kHz in the frequency spectrum, which should offer a sense of "air"yness. This is an active speaker which means it packs its own amplfication. It has a top-notch Class D amp that may be able to rival many Class AB designs too in terms of sound reproduction quality. The technical specs of the Edifier S3000MKII are given in the table below: Specification Value RMS Output Power 256W RMS (Treble: 8W × 2, Mid-Low: 120W × 2) Tweeter Driver 107mm × 107mm Planar Magnetic Tweeter Mid-Low Driver 6.5-inch (179mm) Long-Throw Aluminum Diaphragm Driver Frequency Response 38Hz – 40kHz Signal-to-Noise Ratio ≥ 85dB (A) Bluetooth Version Bluetooth 5.0 Bluetooth Codec Qualcomm® aptX™ HD Wireless Speaker Link Proprietary 5.8GHz wireless connection between speakers Supported Hi-Res Audio Hi-Res Audio Certified, up to 24-bit/192kHz Digital Processing XMOS XU216 Digital Signal Processor Audio Inputs Balanced XLR, Optical, Coaxial, USB Type-B, Line In, Bluetooth Input Sensitivity (USB) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Optical) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Coaxial) 400 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Bluetooth) 450 ± 50mFFs Input Sensitivity (Balanced XLR) 1000 ± 50mV Input Sensitivity (Line In) 600 ± 50mV ADC Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DSP Capability Up to 24-bit/192kHz DIX Capability Up to 24-bit/216kHz DAC Capability Up to 32-bit/384kHz XMOS Processing Power Up to 2,000 MIPS Edifier S3000MKII Audiophile Active (Powered) Wireless Speakers: $799.99 (Sold by Edifier US, Shipped by Amazon US) If you do not have the kind of budget to spend on the S3000MKII, you can also check out the Edifier R1280Ts which is right now on sale at just $114 (its lowest price in a very long time).
