$600 PS3 Ships Without HDMI Cable

Posted by ryuzaki0 on Tuesday September 5, 2006 @02:36AM from the wow-they-really-know-how-to-impress dept.

Eurogamer reports that the $600 PS3, which comes available with an HDMI port, will not ship with the necessary cable to actually hook the machine up. From the article: "According to the specs page on the official US PS3 website, which notes: 'HDMI cable not included. Additional equipment may be required to use the HDMI connector.' Sony has long promoted the 60GB PS3's HDMI output as a key feature of the machine. The 20GB model, however, doesn't feature HDMI - and nor does the Xbox 360, as it goes, despite occasional rumours of a hardware revision in the offing." The machine will, of course, come with a composite cable.

Tell me who I can sued because my $2000+ HDTV didn't come with HDMI cables. No wonder the sales person was so pushy with his overpriced Monster Cables. I got one for $15 w/ shipping (alot cheaper than what Sony/Nintendo or MS will offer it for).

Also I should go after Dell for selling me a PC without an ethernet, usb, serial or parallel cable.
