Xbox-Scene obtained leaked pics of what they say is an Xbox360 motherboard with an HDMI-port:
Our source has seen 3 of these motherboards already, so it looks like Microsoft might be working on a new Xbox 360 version with a HDMI-port. However it's totally unknown when/if it'll be released to the public and if this will be included with all packages or only on the Premium. Or, who-knows, maybe a it'll be for a 3rd package ... maybe even with an internal HD-DVD drive after all, to compete with the high-end PS3? (but that's pure speculation and MS PR recently denied working on an internal HD-DVD).
My guess is this is some sort of dev kit that will never see the light of day. If the denials regarding the internal HD-DVD drive are to be believed, Microsoft just doesn't think hardware upgrades are worth pissing off the early adopters and confusing everybody else. Then again, the 360 could use an HDMI port. Who are we to stand in the way of progress?
