wtf? PS3 No HD cables to be shipped with it.

October 11, 2006 - HDMI port, Blu-Ray drive, Cell processor -- the PS3 will ship with everything needed for high definition playback. Everything except for high definition cables, that is.

The latest issue of Famitsu contains a first report on the cables that will be included with the Japanese version of the PS3. Purchasers of either the 60 Gig or 20 Gig models will get a power cord, USB cable, ethernet cable and standard composite AV cable.

That's right! No component, HDMI or D cables are included in the box! While Sony hasn't announced the wiring that will be bundled with the US version of the system, in Japan at least, those who want high definition cables will have to make a separate purchase.

On the plus side, the PS3's AV Multi Out interface accepts the same cables that you used with your PS2, so if you already have S-Video, D or Component cables, you should be able to reuse them.

Personally, I think Sony WILL ship their PS3's with HD cables, because if they dont, they're the biggest hipocrital sons of bitches EVER !

these pricks try to milk out every last dollar.

hahah I don't have an HD tv so I'm ok but true they are.
and plus thats for Japan. Japan ps3 is 429$ because the retailers complained that it was too high and refuse to carry it. judging by the US version since we're paying full price for it they will give us the HD plugs. thats my opinion

I don't think it's that big of a deal, I mean, what's a few more bucks compared to the price of a PS3 + game (+ controller + more if needed)?

How are they trying to milk us for money? I highly doubt customers will be buying Sony brand HD cables. Composite cables aren't worth the money anyway, ESPECIALLY if you can go the HDMI route. And they're seriously trying to push this 'True HD' (1080p) era, so you can't settle for anything less than HDMI. And HDMI cabling is far too expensive to be putting in the box for free.
