Very few (if any?) of gametrailers.com's "HD" videos are actually HD. Grabbing a 720x480 video via a component signal does not constitute high definition, it's what's known as "enhanced definition." If any of their videos are actually in HD, I'd assume they're straight from "insert company here"'s press kit.
The HD trailers on the XBOX Live Marketplace ARE in full 1280 x 720 HD video.
This "interview" on XBOX.com is nothing more than Microsoft's marketing people saying that they'll have free ads (in the form of demos or trailers) for people to see and download (even if they're not in LA attending the show). And you know what? Being able to play some new games like Lost Planet or possibly see a new glimpse of a game like Gears Of War is more than enough to put a smile on my face. Hopefully Sony and Nintendo will do the same via their handhelds (DS download stations at a store and downloads to a memory stick for PSP).
