Exchange rate puts it anywhere from $168 to $177, but that does not mean it will be the same price when its released in the US.

The earliest ICT would be invoked is, what, 2010? Microsoft knows they'll be releasing their third Xbox that year so I doubt they're too worried.

However it's entirely possible they'll release a HDMI cable but if they don't it looks like 1080p output over VGA and Component.

JUST announced at X06:

HD-DVD player plus 360 Universal Media Remote plus HD-DVD copy of Peter Jackson's King Kong for US$199!

 

[Jason Harbaugh]

Well at least they are making it enticing by throwing in a freebie of Kong. Smart move.

Now how about you Sony? Plan on bundling a BD disc in the PS3s?

Here's a link to the announcement.

$199 for U.S.
199 Euros for Europe
129 Pounds for England

It will include the Xbox 360 Universal Media Remote and for a limited time a copy of Peter Jackson's King Kong on HD DVD!

Well, I'm in for that deal. My 57" Sony doesn't have HDMI, so that's no biggie for me right now. I've already got the XBox 360 all hooked up to my HT, so $200 to upgrade to HD-DVD is a no-brainer!!

I'm off the fence and in the game. Pre-ordered mine this morning.

ICT can be switched on for any titles whenever the studios decide to do so. There is no restriction on it's use.
