Yeah, it does that, at least--although they've not even bothered to say so.
But it has the same connector on the back as the Gamecube for component out
(you know, the one they removed last year).  In fact, that's the only
connector back there besides a couple of USB ports, so it won't be using the
old "Nintendo" connector--which means audio should be digital as well,
perhaps.

I suppose the next question would be, can you buy the fucking component
cable or not.  Seriously, I'm waiting to hear that the Revolution will only
be available from Nintendo.com.  That seems to be the direction they're
heading--niche market hell.
