Another form of proof that GameTrailers is not neutral

Yeah. I, for one, don't like the PS3, but I'm all for getting a 360, and I currently am a huge DS/Wii/PC gamer (in that order).

I believe that means that I am not, in fact, a biased fanboy.

And I totally agree - if you're going to advertise your system as a major HD system, then sell it as a major HD system. Meaning - have it packaged so you can use it as HD straight from the box, no extras necessary.

Although, I think the reason they didn't package any extras in would be because everybody (see: 100%) buying a PS3 will have a TV that is composite-ready. However, not quite that high a percentage actually have component-ready TVs. As a result, to keep everybody happy, they'd have to package in both. So, they decided to go the cheaper route and make sure at least everybody will be able to at least use their system.

Even though component-cables are super cheap and most people wouldn't mind purchasing those separately if they really had to.

Or they could have done what MS did and put all three cables in with the Elite, component and composite in the Pro, and just composite in the Arcade.

I spent $600 on the PS3; a few cables to hook it up to my HDTV would have been nice. After all, it would have run Sony maybe $10 for all of them at bulk pricing.
