CVG’s Mike Jackson reports that XMC says its new cable will allow for HDMI output – one of the key features of the upgraded Elite machine – on a standard white Xbox 360.
“The cable itself is nearly finished and will be completed in approximately four weeks and promises to allow 1080p output on a regular white original Xbox 360,” the firm claims.
Seeing as common belief dictates that Xbox 360 cannot currently output a digital signal, it seems likely that XMC’s cable simply pumps the machine’s standard analogue signal through a digital connection.
However, if it transpires that the add-on can produce a genuine digital signal, it will represent a significant step up in functionality for gamers with a hi-def TV set.
