What do you think you'll get from HDMI that you won't/don't from Component or VGA?
HDMI , component and vga can run the game upto 1080p
only VGA and HDMI will run HD DVD at 1080p but only 1080i on component
and the last thing , not many tvs that can run VGA at 1080p
so HDMI is the best choice if you got the tv that got HDMI and support FULLHD
Question for you then, or anyone else who may have landed an HDMI premium: can you confirm what leads come in the box - specfically does it come with an HDMI lead and does it include the audio dongle for optical out?My mate has just got a UK premium and it has HDMI! So they are now about in the UK. It says "HDMI" on the back of the box, at the bottom.

I heard neither are included, just wanted to make sure for the FAQ.
(How would someone go about getting an audio dongle if you don't get one included?)
There isn't a major hardware revision, but I believe the new heatsink is now applied to these models. You may consider that better build quality, and it is certainly done with the intention of making the console more reliable.interested to know if these premium hdmi builds are more reliable, better build quality, everywhere i search on the web there is no official word from microsoft to whether they changed any internal hardware with this model.
I swapped my broken 360 for a new model at Gamestation on Saturday, and it turned out to be an HDMI version. Contents of box exactly the same as a standard premium, so no digital audio dongle or hdmi lead in the box.
My understanding is the only way to buy the dongle seperately is with the offical HDMI cable kit, approximately $50 in the US, no release over here as yet.
Which would then make it the same price as the elite give or take
Pants!
I understand the differences myself.... I was asking the question in response to dimmockg's post.

just curious as to whether Virgin would likely exchange the unit - especially as the build date (IIRC) on the "new" console was October 06!
