As someone who just shelled out a lot of money on a pair of A40's, which I love, I am pretty pissed about this assuming it is true, and knowing Microsoft with a lot of their BS regarding headsets on the last system I would no put it past them to grab their customers by the balls and try to make them buy more of their garbage little 40$ headsets. I can only hope that there will be an adapter made to allow this is the future but otherwise, fuck that noise, Microsoft just made their new system that much less appealing to me.

Now I can see the parallel between this and the lack of component, but really, this is more an issue than that because all modern HD TV's as far as I know have HDMI so. Still sucks for some though.
