Microsoft have confirmed the roll out of HDMI port equipped Xbox 360 Premium systems as part of a revamp of both hardware and price.

It seems that the marketing and technology gurus perched high in the Microsoft towers felt that a price cut was not enough to reinvigorate Xbox 360 sales.

Confirmation has hit the interweb of a new iteration of the Xbox 360 Permium model, as of now all they receive a nice shiny lower price tag (in the U.S) and the long awaited HDMI port for High-Definition viewing goodness.

"Yes, we are offering an HDMI port for Xbox 360 simply as another choice in Xbox 360 owners’ games and entertainment experience," a Microsoft rep told Shacknews in an e-mailed statement. "Retailers are gradually introducing HDMI-enabled Xbox 360s into the channel to meet demand."

Up until now the HDMI port was only available on the more expensive –larger hard drive equipped – Xbox 360 Elite model.

Still no news on other changes that may happen to the Xbox 360’s other workings such as the 65nm cooler internal design.  The Microsoft spokesperson added ; "We are constantly updating the console's more than 1700 internal components and therefore will not comment on details of specific components or manufacturing processes,"

Will it come with a HDMI cable ?
