well my vga port is already used for my htpc, which i prefer as no other inputs on my tv have the option to stretch the image to fit the screen (like a normal monitor does). i am crossing my fingers for an hdmi cable though... however i will probably still get a stand alone hd-dvd player in the future, that way i wont have to change the picture options on the tv each time i go from gaming to watching a movie (my tv has a game mode)
