What if I get the HDMI out and loop it back into the HDMI in on the same console? Will I create a black hole or some kind of video paradox and destroy the universe?


It will create a time paradox that will send us all back to the night of November 15, 2001. Then the cycle will repeat.

People are making fun of it - nobody actually believes in combined power.

That's actually a really neat feature. My TV only has two HDMI ports so this is definitely helpful.


Agreed! I use a monitor for PC and 360, that's my 2 HDMI ports already used so for me and you, it's especially good.

What I want to know is: how much power is needed for this? It'd be nice if MS would have a low-power-mode, running everything on an arm-device.

Good point... I know what an ARM device is (very) briefly, what do you mean by it? Aren't they generally used in portable devices like the NDS?

Could MS just use it as a pass-through device that automatically just displays what the HDMI in port is sending and powers down everything else, like a monitor or TV? If that's what you meant then never-mind!

You are right, ARM-devices are known to be used in NDS. But also in GBA and 3ds and most of the smartphones/tablets.

Wii and WiiU also have a small arm-chip aswell as PS4. The nice thing with arm-chips is you can build "your own". You can build an soc with it which helps with dedicated chips like you want: Security, encoding, decoding and other things. PS4 and Xbone are said to feature arm-chips especially for security-reasons and also feature a low-power-mode for certain tasks so that you don't need the APU all the time.

But why would you want to do this?

You would do this if want access to your Xbox One dashboard while playing Xbox 360 games.

For example, lets say you actually care about multi tasking features. Like say if you wanna video chat on skype while playing a game on the same screen. This will allow you to do that while playing Xbox 360 games.

In theory you could probably connect a PS3 or PS4 into a X1 as well. I mean if you wanted some of those multi tasking features aside those platforms.
