Ok, 2 more questions, then:
1. What do they mean "compatible tuner box?" Does that mean we need some accessory to be able to use the pass-through capability? If it's some expensive adapter thing, screw the whole process, haha. I already have 3 or 4 HDMI cables though, and I got them for a total of $5, I think.
2. Those aren't the ONLY USB ports, are they? First off, I don't like that they are black, because USB 3.0 is supposed to be blue I know, uniformity across the console, but I still prefer the uniformity over the USB standard. More-importantly, are we not getting some frontal USB ports as well? I'd be disappointed if we did not. I' made use of 3+ ports on occasions in the past. For example, I've used my Turtle Beach headset in one port, my Play & Charge in another (I typically keep that plugged in at all times, actually), and my Zune (for music) in a third port. I'd hope that they do not limit us to just 2 ports, because that would be a minor downer (not something I'd be too upset with, though, as either streaming music, playing it through my phone, or plugging the USB cable to my headset into my PC could alleviate that).
Oh, and thanks for that link. I'm going to bookmark it for future cabling. I might steal that color-coding idea of yours, so I can at least know WHICH cable I've lost, haha.
