Ah, the golden rule of technology: Given time, all gadgets get better features, at a cheaper price. Xbox 360 is the latest product to reflect this golden rule: Today Microsoft not only dropped the price on its Xbox Premium, from $400 to $350, but it also began rolling out a quiet refresh of the Xbox 360 Premium's hardware. The new hardware adds an HDMI port, previously only available on the Xbox 360 Elite. HDMI delivers better image quality for high-definition video (at up to 1080p resolution) than can component video (limited to 1080i output on the non-HDMI Xbox 360) or VGA (at 1080p).
