You interpret this differently than I. My interpretation is that =
they are gauging demand for HDMI output from the Xbox 360. The = implication I
read is that component was supported because it is more = compatible with
existing HDTVs. HDCP is not mentioned at all so I can't = see how anyone can
make a valid inference on that.=20

Yes it is 1080p over vga and component. The point I was attempting ( =

http://gear.ign.com/articles/735/735860p1.html
To try to get to the bottom of this situation, IGN contacted Microsoft =
and=20
asked a few tough questions. Plenty of questions remain -- we're =
waiting to=20
hear even more from the company -- but here's what we have so far.
IGN: Will games begin to be developed with 1080p as the native =
resolution,=20
or is the 360's new 1080p support an advance in the console's internal =
scaling abilities?
Microsoft: If developed, the Xbox 360 will support playback of native =
1080p=20
games and all existing Xbox 360 titles can be up-scaled to 1080p.
IGN : Does the Xbox 360 have the internal bandwidth between CPUs and=20
graphics processors necessary to move a full 1080p image? There's a =
big=20
difference between 1080i and the 3GB/s of 1080p.
Microsoft: *updated* Yes, the Xbox 360 has the necessary internal =
bandwidth=20
between CPUs and graphics processors to move a full 1080p image.
IGN: There are very few 1080p native HDTVs that accept 1080p via =
Component=20
connections. The signal will only come in as 1080i and be =
de-interlaced back=20
to 1080p. How is the 360's new 1080p support, in practical =
application,=20
going to be any different than what was already possible?
Microsoft: We can offer 1080p support through both the VGA connection =
and=20
the Component connection.
IGN: Could Microsoft theoretically release an HDMI dongle-cable like =
the=20
various other cables already available for the console? Is the current =
360=20
hardware able to output a digital signal, or is it restricted to =
analog?
Microsoft: Xbox 360 supports HD Component video output, which is =
compatible=20
with nearly every HD ready TV on the market today. That's not yet true =
for=20
HDMI. We are watching the market closely and will continue to evaluate =
our=20
solution, in the face of consumer demand.
