Agreed - that is a bit lame :(

I should just warn you that, over on the Xbox forums at least, any post that contains the word 'M$' (with the $ sign) is generally considered worthless :p

I never tested it so I cannot say one way or another....

But I have a feeling that it will (quietly) make its way to the Ultimate Upgrades.

I believe the major differences are in the type of codec used for recording as well as HD related stuff - and I don't have HD yet, so....
