New Xbox 360 hardware "Zephyr" with HDMI port

This would probably be an appropriate time to say something like "already!?" It all started when Engadget got their hands on a leaked picture of an Xbox 360 sporting an HDMI port. As most HD buffs know, HDMI is the holy grail of digital video output. The high-end PS3 unit has one, but the lower-end PS3 and Xbox 360 do not. The updated hardware has been given the codename "Zephyr" and appears to include a new scaler chip that produces that higher resolution images.

I'll give you a minute to recover from the music in that clip... Anyway, if Microsoft wants to regain the upper hand in terms of HD entertainment, an HDMI port would be a surprisingly simple way to do it. But it could mean pissing off a lot of current Xbox 360 owners. Anyone feel screwed or is this just another example of Moore's Law? Probably feels like buying a forth generation iPod the day before the fifth generation comes out.
