The über version of the PlayStation 3 evidently isn't shipping with the HDMI cable needed to take advantage of 1080p Blu-ray sweetness that has been promised by Sony ever since the PS3's high-def qualities have been hyped up. According to a recently updated FAQ on the official PS3 site, it says the following: "Copy-protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HDMI cable connected to a device that is compatible with the HDCP standard."
The only problem is that the HDMI cable needed to do this won't be included with your $600 PS3. That means, according to prices on places like Amazon, you'll have to shell out an extra $40 or more for the needed HD hook up. While it certainly may not be a big deal for someone who has the dough to spend $600 on a game console in the first place, for those who have been fillin' up the ol' piggy bank a penny at a time to buy this thing, it could just add to the stress and anger that's been building ever since the price was announced in May.
Sony said the $600 PS3 would play our content in 1080p. Maybe they should have made it clear we'd need an extra cable not included in the box to do so.

i agree with josh...when they first annocunced (sorry if i spelt it wrong) the ps3 and all that it "can do" i was really excited but as the time has past sony just seem to be making the ps3 harder to sell their machine, the price being the main reason.
we will see what the PS3 can really do when it is out. but for now im im glad with my 360 and saints row

i'm still in specualtion whether to get an xbox 360 or ps3. I know that most people including me are going to wait atleast a couple years for the ps3 to drop down from its horrendus price.
-
why dont u buy a xbox360 if your going to wait for the ps3, so buy the time the ps3 had dropped u will have enough money.
and troubling... your going to get a ps3 just because your 360 broke. mine broke but i got it repaired but that doesnt mean im going to by a ps3. sorry if i read your post wrong but it seems abit stupid to me
