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but its the fact of the point that people just purchased items for their loved ones at Christmas and it is already now outdated for a new model.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.

    • SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers

      By Karthik Mudaliar · Posted

      SpaceX reportedly plans a Starlink mobile service for U.S. consumers by Karthik Mudaliar SpaceX reportedly wants to sell mobile phone plans directly to consumers in the United States as part of a wider expansion of Starlink. According to a report from the Financial Times, SpaceX president Gwynne Shotwell discussed the plan with investors during the company’s recent IPO roadshow. The company is also said to be considering building a terrestrial mobile network to complement Starlink’s satellite coverage. The plan is quite different from how Starlink currently operates in the U.S. mobile market. SpaceX already provides satellite connectivity for T-Mobile’s T-Satellite service, but T-Mobile remains responsible for the subscription, billing, and customer support. A Starlink-branded mobile service would give SpaceX control of the customer relationship instead. It could also turn the company from a partner of traditional mobile operators into a direct competitor. T-Mobile also began testing its Starlink-powered satellite service in early 2025. The beta was initially limited to text messaging and was also available to some AT&T and Verizon customers. The service has since expanded to support limited data access through selected apps, including WhatsApp, Google Maps, AccuWeather, and AllTrails. It is designed to provide a connection in areas where normal cell towers are unavailable, rather than replace a conventional mobile network. However, if SpaceX actually has a plan to serve nationwide, it needs to do more than just satellite networks and actually support on-ground operations. It can also partner up with existing carriers and become a mobile virtual network operator (MVNO). With that said, SpaceX has already spent heavily to support its mobile ambitions. Just last year, the company agreed to acquire wireless spectrum licences from EchoStar in deals worth a combined $19.6 billion. EchoStar's spectrum includes AWS-4, H-Block, and AWS-3 frequencies that could be used for both satellite and terrestrial communications. According to a SpaceX securities filing, the Federal Communications Commission approved the transaction in May 2026, although it is not expected to close until late 2027. There's no official statement by SpaceX for now. Pricing, availability, and other details remain unknown. Source: Financial Times
