I recently received a demo of the XBOX360 cluster capability during a visit to the development center (brother works out there). They clustered 2 XBOX360's together via the broadband connector (and appeared to also be using a dual A/V connector).
While in clustered mode the XBOX360's displayed a development demo with in-game footage comparable to the photo-realistic previews you have all seen of the pre-rendered footage of Call-of-duty and Gears of War, and the sound was simply amazing. Wow! I can't wait until games start coming out which support this clustered feature.
While I am not sure why Microsoft hasnt released any press information about this feature, I can only assume it is due to its lack of reliability (the systems crash several time during the demo). It has come to my attention, the XBOX360 is already suffering from reliability issues, it may be some time before we see this cluster feature =(
I will keep you posted with updates. I will try to get some screenshots posted in the next several weeks.
