I didn't day it had. I was talking about the UK-spec Toshiba which only
outputs HD via HDMI. More and more X-Box sites are saying the UK-spec add-on
will only output component and VGA signals downconverted to standard
resolution. Until somebody actually tries one we won't know for sure. I
certainly wouldn't buy an X-Box 360 just on the off-chance it might play HD
movies.
