I may have to sell my console to a friend so I can get HDMI. That way, I would be able to get HD DVD at it's highest 1080p instead of 1080i over component.
You can do 1080p over component, the 360 has that option in the set-up its just whether or not your TV will accept 1080p over component, I have a 46" Samsung LCD 1080p and it supports it and it looks amazing
My 50" Sammy doesn't like the 1080p over component, but it has a VGA input which I hook the VGA adapter into with no problems. I don't think it is a 'true' 1080p signal though as it's set to 1680 x 1050. I tried kicking it to the 1920 x 1080, but the image started tearing something fierce. After visiting the forums, I guess this is a glitch that is being worked on, but who knows when it will be fixed. I'm thinking about giving my nephew this box, and buying the new model with HDMI when it comes out.
Matthew: I have the 360 set up to do normal 1080p. I'm specifically talking about the HD DVD add-on, which instantly goes from 1080p to 1080i when I start playing the movie.
