PS3 Will be Shipping Without HDMI Cable

digerati · Sep 2, 2006, 10:26 PM

Sony has been touting the benefits of HDMI ever since the announcement of the PlayStation 3 at last year's E3, and the inclusion of an HDMI cable with every unit has been something which fans of both the console and HDMI have been hoping for. Fans often claimed that the inclusion of an HDMI cable would further acceptance of the standard while critics argued that it would be too expensive and would be better as an option.

Now, it has been revealed via the PlayStation 3's official site that the console will not be shipping with an HDMI cable. “HDMI cable not included”, reads the site when answering the What is HDMI question.

WOW again my point about sony trying to rip off the customer as much as possible has happened again.

Ok so I buy a $600 game/HD dvd player and I can't even use it to it's full power unless I spend another amount of money on the cord. Why don't they just make you buy the power cord as well and say you don't need to play the ps3 the box it self is pretty enough.

Thats why I hate sony. Maybe if they don't rip the customer off so much they might not be such a bad company. O I also love the line "it would be too expensive" well if they think adding another $5 (buying in bulk) a box is to expensive then how did they come up with $600 per box? I think thats to expensive. If I was going to spend that much making it $605 would be no big deal for me because I know I could not buy a HDMI cord for $5 lol.
