Output content over an HDCP-protected HDMI link? In other words, the device would have the hardware that content owners will require to authorize the device to store and stream HD content. No way is a content owner going to allow HD movies from a download service such as Apple's to be streamed over unprotected HDMI.
You do have a point but once the Mac mini is updated with Santa Rosa chipset, I think it too will have HDMI.
Right now, HDMI supposedly isn't going to be required for HD video formats for a few years.
Have you guys actually used an XBox360? Its a big, very loud, brutish machine. I don't want one near my entertainment systems, nevermind turned on an making that infernal racket that it does while I'm trying to enjoy something other than a video game. Or even while I'm trying to play a game, for that matter.
