One of consumer’s biggest and most valid gripes with the PlayStation 3 has long been the fact an HDMI cable is not included. This is mainly due to the fact that Sony has long been touting the PS3, as the high definition console, even offering ‘full 1080p’ gaming and movies. What good is a 1080p capable “High Definition” console when you’re given nothing more than a composite cable only capable of standard definition 480i? Admittedly, the missing HDMI cable was much more noticeable at launch when the PS3 cost $599, but who wouldn’t want a free HDMI cable packed in with each and every PS3?
Apparently, new SKUs have hit certain retailers and now include an HDMI cable. Excellent, but better yet, that’s not the only other thing that’s now included.
As if the 250GB PS3 SKU wasn’t already a great value, being only $50 more than the 120GB SKU and featuring double the HDD capacity. Now, the 250 SKU will be packed with a 6-foot HDMI cable and the Greatest Hit’s Game of the Year Edition of LittleBigPlanet. Here’s the kicker, it’s still only $349.99!
Now when you purchase a 250GB PS3, you’ll be getting double the hard drive capacity over the 120GB SKU, which is still difficult to find in stores mind you, along with a PlayStation branded HDMI cable and a copy of LBP GOTY. The game and HDMI cable alone is worth the extra $50 a 250GB SKU will cost you.
Don’t believe this amazing value? We didn’t either, but a PSLS faithful tipster with retail experience sent us these pics for confirmation.
SCEA hasn’t announced this bundle yet, but there is, sitting at least one retailer we know of, just waiting to be announced and subsequently scooped up by the masses wanting a PS3. Check out the pics below:
