hell, the PS3 doesn't even come with an HDMI cable, if i recall, it only comes with composite doesn't it? So its a completely fair comparison.

Ok, have to call you out for total fanboy craziness here :p

The PS3 doesn't come with a display device, so we should not compare visuals.

The PS3 doesn't come with speakers, so we should not compare audio.

The PS3 does not come with two contolers, so we should never compare multiplayer games.

Come on... buy a 5 dollar cable and get over it.


No, the PS3 coming with the standard cables is in fact shit. They advertise it as the big HD machine that displays in beautiful HD power, they use their snake in the grass technique to sneak BluRay into your home, and you're not telling me you're not upset you had to buy cables for your system?

I can understand not putting HDMI cables in the box, but not even putting component cables in the box is shit.


I needed a 14 foot HDMI cable. Whatever they would have provided, I would have thrown away (Just like I did with the 360).

And they did not "sneak" BluRay into the system, it was plastered all over the damn thing :). Thank god for it too, I use it as a BR player 4 times a week.

I don't get all the hate. If you don't like it becuse it cost to much for what you get, then wait until it cost less and stop bitching about it. I mean, if you can drop $400-$600 dollars on a gamming system, and another 2-3k on a Audio/Video system to take advantge of it, who gives a shits ass about a 5 dollar cable?

I think everyone who bitches about it is a 360 fanboy who just uses it as another arguing point, it's not a reality that anyone who bought a PS3 cares.

 

Oh and @azrm2k

I don't care about the stupid comparison videos. I have stated that in this post already. They are meaningless. I wasn't saying that the PS3 is being slighted because of not using HDMI.


 Wow, so since you would need a new cable that means everyone else would too?  Awesome.

Notice that I didn't say I wanted an HDMI cable included, I just wanted your basic cheap component cable that would at least let me see my HD machine in HD.  Most people would be grateful not to spend another $40-100 on cables after buying a $400-600 toy.

As for the BluRay comment you completely missed the point.  By sneaking in, I meant forcing us to pay for it so BluRay could win the format war.

And wait to call everyone who doesn't like the PS3 a biased fanboy.
