OK, my apologies then. I guess I "assumed" too much... that meaning that I
assumed the HD-DVD drive would be some kind of USB2 addon to the xbox, but
the xbox still used to output the signal to the TV, which can be via
component. I didn't realise people connecting with component would have to
change to HDMI to use the addon drive. Guess the thing would be useless
otherwise, as it's only real purpose that I can see at the moment is to make
it play HD-DVD disks, games will still come on DVD?
