$600 PS3 Ships Without HDMI Cable

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.

See, now your response was well thought out and worded in the form of an adult trying to have a conversation. Because of that, I definitely see what you're saying, and agree with you. I wish all /.ers were capable of intelligent conversation, and not just saying "F-SONY!"

1. There are not enough funny Canadian money in Canada to give this guy a sense of humor.

2. I welcome our new Canadian overlords!

besides, it's not like Canadian money is used for anything but purchasing hockey tickets and beer. So really discussing exchange rates is pointless, unless you are talking about those two particular commodities markets.

1.15 CND -> 1 beer -> 5.35 USD .. see the exchange rate is actually opposite, Canadian money can purchase Canadian beer much more cheaply than US currency.

hdmi is l.a.m.e.
