About the Audio concerns:
My home theater does not have an HDMI input, so I depend on optical cables, which are connected to my Xbox/TV/etc. If I use my Xbox without an optical cable, the sound would go to my TV, then the TV would filter the 5.1 sound and transmit 2.1 sound to my home theater. In the end => no surround sound if no direct optical cable.
This sucks big time. I'll probably have to stick with Xbox for the meantime.
Maybe they'll wise up and release something like the 360 had, where the toslink was on certain cable outs instead of on the console, otherwise it's time to upgrade the receiver.
