So, the signal is digital until it hits the scaler, at which point it is output as analog. There's probably no way for a cable to grab the signal before it's passed into the scaler...unless they thought about it beforehand and allowed a cable to intercept it and feed it out in its originally digital form. Then again, if they did this, we'd have a DVI/HDMI breakout cable at launch. Weird.

Perhaps the breakout has digital out already and an HDMI cable could provide the circuitry to make it work...it'd be all digital and they wouldn't have to worry about any licensing fees until the cable released and the costs would be passed onto the buyer. Streching?

MS has now officially denied this rumour, just to clarify.
