    Soooo...I stood in line at a Sears on launch day, and have quietly put up with 2 RRoDs...and now this happens?


    Since when did Joe Bidden begin working at Netflix?

    @Chromeo: Update: If the component cables DO in fact, work fine...then we have no problems here.

    wait, so I'm kind of confused about what optical-out has to do with anything. Don't the newer ones output audio via optical too?

    As a first run 360 owner, I'm sincerely disappointed, but I can't say I didn't see this one coming. Microsoft is one of the most fervent promoters of this heinous HDCP shit, also known as "everybody is a thief unless proven otherwise".


    I guess this is the price I'm paying for buying something from Microsoft. Oh Sony, why you had to screw up this generation so much?

    @Pazu: I seriously doubt it was Microsoft's choice. They don't get any benefit through doing this, since all the content they provide does not have this restriction. I'd put the whole blame on Netflix.

    @Guard: Oh, they do get something. They implement this so Microsoft becomes the "partner of choice" for video/music studios. At the expense of the consumer.

    Isn't the HDCP flag that comes through the content? In which case, shouldn't you blame the content provider and not the delivery medium? MS Video Marketplace allows you to view HD video over VGA and component so if a Netflix sourced HD content is blocked via HDCP, why would Gizmodo be angry with MS?


    ...I'm I missing something here?

    Pfft. Nobody owns a first-run system. They've all been replaced when they RROD or just crapped out.

    Since every single Xbox 360 that has ever been produced, including those from day one, is still under that 3-year MS RRoD warranty, I'd say if you have an early console, it's time to wrap that mothersucker in a blanket and loop some CG game intro over and over.


    When it red-rings, send it in for a newer, quieter, Netflix HD-capable console. Better safe than sorry.

    @regnez : When i got my RROD about 4 months ago they gave me a "new" box, although it was also a component-only box.

    @regnez: I'm sure the support is just turning around other people's reworked 360s when you get it repaired.

    You guys honestly think there's an early-run Xbox 360 without an HDMI port still running today? Wahahaha

    @Nintenboy01: Count me in. Netflix HD isn't going to hurt me much. I'm still skeptical about the quality of HD streaming. As long as their SD movies can still be streamed, I should be ok.

    Component-only 360 owner here, but I see no need to bitch. I don't have a Netflix account and was unlikely to get one once the NXE hits.


    The existing Video Marketplace more than covers my occasional rentals.


    So, all in all, I give a bit "meh" to this news.
