HDMI is such a racket. The brick and mortar retail stores absolutely GOUGE you on HDMI cables for $25 apiece on up to $125 apiece, but you can go on NewEgg.com and get one for around $10. Everyone I know, including myself, did not get an HDMI cable or HDCP cables with their HDTVs. It doesn't come with the PS3. The 360 comes with HDCP, but I would have rather had the HDMI hookup.
HDMI is great and everything, but not THAT great. It does clean up the back of your entertainment center quite a bit, but everywhere you turn people are trying to screw you over on the cables. I went with the prepacked HDCP for my 360 and the cheap-o NewEgg cable for my TV. Screw Monster cable.
