Engadget guys are rumoring that an HDMI adapter for the regular Xbox 360 may be in the works.

Good lord, can't someone tell us why this will or won't happen?

And we wonder why HDTV is taking so long to catch on.....

Victor note: Nope, not happening. As one of the commenters notes in the Engadget post, official Microsoft blogger Ozymandias, who works on the Xbox team, has said that a component-to-HDMI adapter is impossible. Basically, if you plug an HDMI cable into the HDMI port on your TV, the TV sends a signal back down the line to verify the video source. If the original source isn't a digital HDMI connection, you won't get a picture.

If you want to connect your 360 via HDMI, you're going to have to buy the Elite.
