360 damaging AV imputs?

the voltage is regulated on those inputs. if there was a screw up, there would have already been a recall. those are mass-manufactured ICs (the little black square things on the 360 motherboard) who's ONLY job is to do HDMI, so the chances of that are infinitesimally small.

Very true, although I doubt there would be a recall, just a change at assembly line and production continues as if nothing happened. A recall would just invite lawsuits (you owe be a new tv!). I work for an electronics (audio) manufacturing company. When something goes wrong, which is very rare, we're quick to fix it but we don't issue recalls. Maybe if we knew something was potential harmful to a person, like electrical shock or whatever but that has never happened.

well, the kind of current to ruin a tv through an hdmi cable would probably be considered somewhat unsafe to leave as exposed contacts...
