Xbox 360 HDMI Port Rumor Scenario: How to Appease Early Console Buyers
If you missed our post featuring a photo of the new Xbox 360 motherboard with theHDMI port, you can take a second look here. The verdict on its authenticity is still out and the rumored HDMI port is still that. So what else is new? Well, Andre Vrignaud, a member of the Xbox Team posted his thoughts on how MS should handle the fallout IF the HDMI rumor turns out to be true.
Mind you, Andre is not confirming the rumor. He’s just painting a personal scenario on what MS should do to appease the 3,966,003 (and counting) already owners of the HDMI-less console. Andre says the HDMI port will not do much for existing gamers since it will mainly function as part of the HD-DVD playback (plus you need an HDTV for that).
So he doesn’t think all three miliion Xbox 360 owners will take to street crying for blood. But for those who do want the HDMI port, Andre believes MS should offer an upgrade program – not necessarily free but reasonable – for good Karma. Again, Andre is just voicing out his personal view on a rumor. We can only hope MS executives will be as understanding.
