People are making a big deal out of this for no reason. Besides, if you are ready to spend $600 on a console what's another $10-$20?]]>Sep 4th 2006 2:05PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
One only needs ~35 MHz for 1080i DTV, but they would need double that for 1080P60. One could make their own short-length (less than 50-feet) 18AWG Component cables. BTW, even the Westinghouse 1080P LCD displays are accepting RGBhv (analog) up to 1080P, so the HDMI exclusivity isn't there in all products. Then again, RGBhv is better than Component anyway.

I would say its more of a display manufacturer shortcoming than a video transport limitation. But, HDMI cables can be had online for $10.]]>Sep 4th 2006 2:25PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 4th 2006 2:42PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
Thats just complete nonsense and BS.

The 600 USD PS3 is not for retards; if you're going to drop 600 USD on anything you should at least know something about what you're getting. If not, then you deserve to be gouged.]]>Sep 4th 2006 3:03PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
For $600.00 it makes me wonder what their primary age group they will marketing this for.]]>Sep 4th 2006 4:24PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 4th 2006 4:31PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
I really don't understand why anyone would choose component over HDMI if you have HDMI available. Connecting one cable is the greatest thing ever.]]>Sep 4th 2006 5:00PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
BTW, I think the only people choosing Component over HDMI is probably a lack of HDMI in their display. For instance, I have a 92" and a 120" projected image for displays (also a 42" LCD flat panel), both of which are fed nicely through RGBHV.

There is a required solution to inputting digital into analog displays not previously equipped as such. But, had Sony offered RGBHV in addition or instead of Component I would have been happy provided they didn't skirt the output like the 360 did with RGBHV.]]>Sep 4th 2006 5:39PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/The biggest prob is that my tv only has 1 HDMI port, as im sure most people who bought HDtvs have whic hsucks cause i can only use 1 HD item at a time. I see switches online for like 300.00, id rather just switch them myself, lol. ]]>Sep 4th 2006 5:56PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 4th 2006 7:07PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Buy a bunch of cheap HDMI cables online for $10 a piece.
Sell for $20 a piece to the people on line for the PS3 on launch day.
Double your money, and screw the bix-box price gougers.

I ran outa YPbPr inputs on my Set.. So I bought a new receiver, with switching.. No HDMI thou..

I have one DVI which is gunna be used for my PS3 this spring and I have the cable already from hookin up my PC to my 50".. So this exclusion of an HDMI cable is fine by me(i have an DVI->HDMI connector, HDMI->DVI cable was really for my HD-DVR box but I found my TV doesnt do 480p/i on my DVI)]]>Sep 4th 2006 9:45PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 4th 2006 10:28PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 4th 2006 10:30PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
For those unfamiliar with DVI, it has to be screwed in like a VGA monitor cable, not just simply plugged in like an HDMI/RCA cable.

Oh well. Maybe some day I'll get an HDMI switcher.]]>Sep 4th 2006 11:15PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.monoprice.com ]]>Sep 5th 2006 1:22AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/


i still think sony PSS3 & xbox 360{HD_DVD still to be included.they'll be the same price when its launched} will be neck & neck for years,both great consoles]]>Sep 5th 2006 1:54AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 5th 2006 4:28AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 5th 2006 11:57AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/Sep 5th 2006 10:51PMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/
Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha a ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha...ha!

I second the above comments, with added mockery of course. Please, please, people, stop buying Monster cables. They've highjacked every major retail outlet. You can't even go to Radio Shack anymore to buy cheap cables in a pinch. Monoprice.com all the way...]]>Sep 8th 2006 11:55AMhttp://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.engadgethd.com/2006/09/04/playstation-3-hdmi-cable-not-included/http://www.eHDMI.com/hdmi.html

Now that I think about it, here's something interesting about the issue:

You can watch the video at a reduced framerate with the built-in flash player on the page, or you can download it, but it's a big file. Worth watching, though. It may help some of you understand why Monster cables are a waste of money.]]>Nov 17th 2006 1:16AM
