Xbox 360 Core HDMI cables mentioned on spec sheet, new timing hack tools appear

via engadget

Why oh why must the endless speculation about the HDMI ports on the Xbox 360 keep on going? Microsoft! Just level with us, stick the port on all three consoles, and send out a press release. The latest on the HDMI on Xbox 360 / or not fiasco comes in the form of an update to the Xbox 360's spec sheet to say that the Core console doesn't come with a HDMI cable included. Draw your own conclusions please. In similar Xbox 360 themed news, a new package for an already existing exploit promises to perform a "Timing Attack" and downgrade your 360 to an earlier, more hackable kernel. Mere mortals need not apply, as usual.
