LOL...probably won't matter too much since 90% of the people are now using WiFi in their homes instead of an ethernet port. It at least has an HDMI cable because IT IS a TRUE HD system unlike the current consoles right now. I mean doesn't everyone have a wireless N router by now? Besides it won't matter if you have crappy internet service like AT&T, I think ISP or form of broadband (cable vs dsl) matters more IMHO.
