Forums - Sony - PS3 now included HDMI cord.

So this HDMI comes only with the 250gb not the 120gb ?

um first of all, the PS3 is worth more than "$299" based on what it can do alone, so you should be happy sony is selling it at that price, because that's basically a steal for consumers for what they get.

 

also 130GB of extra space plus a free netflix trial for $349, isn't a bad deal.. this just adds more value to the 250gb console.. but beforehand I don't think the 250gb was anywhere near a rip off


Yes when I was talking about the old difference in price being 100 dollars and sometimes it wouldn't even come with a game, they just now started to make it worth the "upgrade" since they dropped 50 dollars, added more space, and comes with a lot of extra stuff, before you could buy a cheaper PS3 and an even larger laptop hard drive get the same amount or possibly more space and still come out way ahead of the 100 dollar difference in price.

Ex. PS3 80/160GB models @ 400/500 when you could get something like a 250GB hard drive on newegg for 50 and install it yourself and still save that 50 dollars to buy a game you might really want.

Now it's 300/350 with 250GB of space, a game, and an HDMI cord, when it used to only come with composite cables (not even component like something the 360 would come with).  It's not even like I'm putting down Sony here, in fact quite the opposite, I'm saying they're finally making their upgrades worthwhile.

This line sort of made me laugh "so you should be happy sony is selling it at that price" I could care less, I already own a PS3, and bought mine for 50 dollars and really don't use it for anything outside of a gaming machine so all the extra bells and whistles mean absolutely nothing, so no I don't have to be happy with what they do lol though really that's exactly what I said, they made a deal worth it to me, if I were going to buy a PS3 now it'd be worth it for the extra cash.

Okay deal. You can find both separately for cheaper, though.

How?  The 250GB PS3 is $350,  they are throwing in the HDMI Cable and Game for free essentially
