HDMI and Component look exactly the same to me... I'm just saying >_>

P.S. I think the biggest reason for adding HDMI, is that very few TV's support 1080p through Component, and just a few have a VGA input... For many people, HDMI is their only options for 1080p on their 360.

Also, i just read up, you can't watch HD DVD's at 1080p through component. Only VGA or HDMI... So, putting in HDMI gives people another option from VGA to play their HD DVD's at 1080p.

The reason why HDMI is good is because it is one cord.

Plug into the 360, plug into the tv.

Done.

No screwing in like VGA or 3 cords like component.

And someone already opened one and they don't have the new chips.

I know, who has 15 seconds to screw in a VGA cable, AND plug in to A/V jacks?

I use optical for 5.1 surround. So a single cable will never be enough for me.
