Heh indeed, especially following the previous news requiring people (AACS standards) to use an HDMI cable to play a game or watch a movie in HD... luckily sites like monoprice.com exist to get decent HDMI cables dirt cheap, eh?

[bitsbubba]

Oh Sony, it is Blu-ray, not Blue-ray. You're one of the "Blu-ray Group" and can't write it right, although you're in that group for nearly 10 years. That's embarrassing.

same with the charging bay you can buy from sony and energizer there both the same price but the sony can ONLY charge 2 controllers while the the energizer can charge 4 controllers looks nicer AND glows red for charging then green when full.

you watch 1 month after launch they will have an "optional" FW update that makes it so the PS3 will only function with THEIR HDMI cables

lol wow gotta get one

do yourself a favor and don't get one feeding the sue happy monster is not necessarily a good thing, look at there past in this gen alone, taking away other OS, removing PS2 BC, PSN getting hacked after they knew that every thing was reversed and documented and STILL did nothing to protect its consumers, sued the crap out of talented people being whiny cry babies and all this great anti consumer stuff they have been pulling this gen and you want to feed the monster more $$$ so they can keep screwing the consumer?
