Sony's going to try and earn it! Yeah right!

Well, MS denied the problems like any company likely would have. They probably hoped it would quite down, but when it didn't they had to address it. Same thing SONY did with it's faulty PS2 lasers. Acted like it was no big deal until they were slapped with a class action lawsuit. Most companies try to downplay problems and that's what MS has done.

As far as the HDMI goes, I really don't think it's a huge deal. I used components for a while on my PS3 and when I switched to HDMI didn't notice much. The only thing I noticed and like is that analog noise is eliminated. As far as the picture goes, I didn't see an earth shattering difference. And MS choose to leave it out for that reason. The only reason they added it was because so many brainwashed people begged for it cause SONY hyped it up and made it such a big deal. I don't think MS added it cause they wanted to or thought it had huge advantages, they added it because people cried about how the 360 was inferior without HDMI when it really didn't matter much.

It's just like SONY starting this "1080p Full-HD" hype. Sorry but, HD is HD. And you aren't gonna notice a $1000 dollar difference between the HD selections. If you want to be a big ass and nitpick on SONY's "Full HD" crap then I guess SONY doesn't really have full HD. I guess you don't have full HD until you own a movie theater and can watch the movie on actual film. Every company is a hype machine and or a bully trying to make money. Everyone just hates MS cause they're the richest and hold the key to almost everything.
