I truely doubt microsoft would release a second version of their console with HDMI. I believe they would either make a new AV cable to plug into the existing xbox port, with a possible firmware update, OR they will have it on the HD DVD drive (which I think is not as likely to happen). I do not know a whole lot about how much data is sent through an HDMI cable and a USB cable per second, but it sounds slightly foolish to make a USB adapter of have it on the HDDVD drive itself.
If they DID release a new version on the console with HDMI, they better be offering a very reasonable swap up if there is no other way to get HDMI. But it would seem Microsoft would want to keep their early adopters of their console, so I believe they would just release an adapter of some sort.
