Well, that settles it. There's A LOT of concern that the service will only work with the forthcoming HDMI 360. The fact that the question wasn't even broached during your talk with Microsoft says it all: it's almost certain now that we WILL need the HDMI model to use the IPTV service, and the first 11-15 million people that bought before version 2 was released? Shit out of luck, so sorreh.
A statement acknowledging the existence of the HDMI 360 wasn't required, either. All you had to do, Engadget, was ask whether the service will work with the existing installed base of 360s. All Microsoft had to do was make a statement clarifying things. The fact that they didn't almost certainly means we're all screwed.
A lot of concern? Xbox 360 owner here, who could care less if this service works with my v1.0 360, because I could care less about the service. The masses are underwhelmed.
