The HDMI output is only one of the features for the rumoured new and improved 360. It will be getting a new chipset that will run cooler, so the rumours are that the HDMI output will be added with that release. As well it's rumoured that Microsoft will release those new 360's with a larger hard drive, 120 gigs.
Alot of people with extended warranties will be praying their console goes down when those are released.
