Video: 360 v.2 HDMI in action

Our friends at Xbox-Scene have uncovered more photos and a video (!) of the 360 v.2. They have scored several very high resolution pictures showing off all the trappings of the motherboard. We won't pretend to understand the significance of these photos, what with their vacuum tubes and their zip disks, and their Rock and Roll music. The important part, as we understand it, is that the motherboards in these pictures are different from what's in the 360 sitting in your entertainment center. The pictures also show a new HANA chip, supposedly a high def version of the ANA scaler that's been in the news recently. If that's not enough for you, Xbox-Scene even snagged a video (FYI: the person in the video uses an HDMI/DVI adapter). Check it out after the break.

It looks about as legit as possible. Our only concern that this could be a fake cropped up the second we saw the Linux penguin. Now, there's nothing wrong with Linux, but it's easy to associate it with hackers and modders. Is it possible that this is just a massive hoax, and that some dedicated haxxorz have created a working version of the 360 v.2? Well, anything is possible, but it seems like quite a stretch. After all, it only makes sense that Microsoft would revise its hardware eventually. What do you think? Is this proof, or are you still in disbelief?
