If you wish to have a wider channel selection which includes more HD then yes you do have to pay more for the XL pack but you do not (with the exception of Sky Premium HD) have to pay any additional fee solely for HD.
I'm sure this argument will run and run as everyone has differing opinions but if VM were falsely advertising free HD then I'm sure the ASA would have come knocking long before now!

Thing is. If you get the SD channel in your bundle. But the HD channel is in a higher bundle then how can you say you are giving HD for FREE?
You can't. Virgin is not free HD when the SD and HD variants of the SAME channel are not in the same bundles.

End result is both would pay the same to VM, hence HD is free

Thats a really pointless comparison - you're talking equipment, not service.
