No digital audio - strike one... Until I got my PS2 and hooked it to my surround sound system I didn't realize what I was missing with the GC (my receiver doesn't do the DPL II stuff). Make it just like a DVD player Nintendo - and no, I don't have any interest in using it to play DVD's, but it would be nice to have audio like it was from a DVD. Oh and strike 2 on the whole "proprietary" cable stuff - now we have to order something they may decide one day to drop support for?
Hmmm... So no answer, really, to the questions early in this thread. I wonder, though, why they wouldn't say that it would support HD if they were planning to (they wouldn't have to give details, just say "yes")? Seems like this is the answer to give now if you AREN'T planning to support it. The speculation that follows is encouraging but certainly not definitive.

The machine features no digital audio out. Instead, it boasts a single proprietary output for video and audio.

The output looks exactly like the component out on GameCube. We asked Nintendo's Shigeru Miyamoto if Revolution would play high-definition games and he told us that he wasn't sure if he was allowed to say yet. Still, we expect a bare minimum of 480p support and likely 720p or 1080i, too, given that previous comments from Nintendo execs suggested that the platform would be able to hook up to a computer monitor.
