Japanese Lost Planet bundle with HDMI? [update 1]
Crafty users over at NEOGaf spotted something interesting on Japan's Lost Planet 360 bundle. The list of contents on the back of the box show that an HDMI cable is cable is included with the bundle. Microsoft has said in the past that HDMI is unnecessary for high definition games, or that too few people have HDMI capable TVs, so this could be an interesting turn of events. Also, it would mesh well with rumors of the cable's imminent release.
Of course, it's always possible that this is merely a printing mistake. For instance, the front of the box (image here) notes that the bundle includes normal "HD AV" cables, which are found in American Premium bundles, too. Did some punch-drunk graphic designer accidentally type the wrong letters, or is Microsoft finally taking the HDMI plunge?
Update: It looks like Microsoft has officially shot this down. According to IGN, the HDMI reference on the back of the box was a typo. Shucks.
