Just a quick question about the X360. I was looking at the pics on IGN.com from the GC in Germany and I did not see any digital sound outputs on the system. I think the HD cables that come with the system come with cables to enable digital sound (DD surround i guess) but is it via analog cables? Does X360 have optical or coaxial digital outputs for sound? (sorry if this is a stupid question but i figured I'd ask instead of searching the whole WWW). Thanks

Yes, it has a Toslink-style optical output for digital audio. I'm pretty sure it's on off the component cables connector on the back. Of course, it might be another HD cable package for optical out. Not sure MS has made a statement either way.

I'm pretty sure its the same as the Xbox with optical ouput, don't know if there is a coaxial option.

DD5.1 Toslink style output is included in the Standard package in the component cable. So, you'll have it included with the $399 package.
