If it's just a simple $10 cable, why the fuck does Sony charge $50 for it, and why do they not include it in the system to begin with. It's not nitpicking, you're paying $600 for an HD system, you should be able to use it in HD out of the box.
I do not hate Sony, as you all seem to think. I hate overpriced, overhyped systems. I hated the 3DO back in the day, hated the Neo Geo, and never bought the original Xbox.
I paid $300 for the PS1, the christmas after it came out, loved it until I had to put it on it's fucking side just to play a game, after 6 months of use. Paid $329 for my PS2, got the Gran Turismo bundle, and wasn't able to play PS1 or blue backed PS2 games after 6 months. So don't tell me I hate Sony. Shit, Sony put food on my table, in a way, when I was testing for Visual Concepts, as I tested the PS2 version of ESPN NFL Football. But they shot themselves in the foot with the PS3.
I bought my 360 with grant money from my school, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to afford it, $400 is a lot for a system too, but it is a much better value than the PS3.
It's not about me hating Sony, it's about bang for your buck, and the PS3 doesn't deliver
