the blows keep coming...

Sony has been touting the benefits of HDMI ever since the announcement of the PlayStation 3 at last year's E3, and the inclusion of an HDMI cable with every unit has been something which fans of both the console and HDMI have been hoping for. Fans often claimed that the inclusion of an HDMI cable would further acceptance of the standard while critics argued that it would be too expensive and would be better as an option.

Now, it has been revealed via the PlayStation 3's official site that the console will not be shipping with an HDMI cable. “HDMI cable not included”, reads the site when answering the What is HDMI question.

However, the site is only the official site for the American region and the cables included in other regions may differ. At the moment, it is still unclear what cable the console will be shipping with, although the component cable seems like a likely choice.

The PlayStation 3 will be launching this November 11th in Japan and November 17th in other regions.

Can't say I blame them really. So what connection are they shipping the console with...a standard RCA? 1080p will look AWESOME through that! :rolleyes:

Anyway I was never a big fan of HDMI. Same exact technology that has been around for ages just with more security features to prevent copyright infringement.
