As of right now this applies only to Japan but seeing how HDTV' s are hugely popular over there it' s possible this will follow through to other territories.

Well if they aren' t shipping with HDMI why should they ship with component?

Because with composite you' re stuck with 480i. Not all HDTV' s have HDMI anyway, but the vast majority do have component in. Shipping without HDMI is one thing but shipping without component is another because if you have an SD or ED TV you can still play in progressive scan.

Have you ever tried using composite cables on a HDTV?!

If Sony really doesn' t include composite cables then they are in deep shit!!! They also show the awful economical state they are now in.

" How can we make more money out of PS3??

That' s easy!!!! Just don' t include the componenets and charge them as if they are made of gold!!!!"

BS!!!![:' (][:' (][:' (]

" One who knows nothing can understand nothing"

Mmmm but you get a toaster and blu ray player for free, oh boy oh boy the 360 is in trouble!

Still buying it, and nothing will stop me except for killer apps on a different console

Damn!

There are two rules to success:

1. Never tell all you know.

That doesn' t make any sense to me whatsoever. " Buy this shit hot ' true-HD' TM console for megabucks....but you can' t use it for that out of the box.." So now how much is it gonna cost in total to play HD games? I' m not even bothering to work it out...

I predict their next announcement will be that they are to sell cell and blu-ray functionality separately via ' micro' -transactions. [:' (]

That' s absolutely pathetic. Yup, clearly this is worth the $2000 price tag on ebay. Do they honestly try to screw up like this?

Do they honestly try to screw up like this?

Honestly??? YES!!!!

" One who knows nothing can understand nothing"

it sucks but according to joystiq, you can use your ps2 component cable if you got one.

That, if true, is something... i guess... I' m almost suprised sony are even including any components in the shell of ps3. I can see it now...

£425/$599 thank you very much. Now please buy cell, blu-ray player, rsx seperately... $150 each.... Thank you very much.

NiGHTS into Dreamcast

So much Sony bashing, its so hard to not join after how angry they' ve made me. Heres to hoping GoW(God of War) can by some act of divine intervention can jump ship to the 360...

I dont want to celebrate, I want to sell you hate.

Will Majik make you his bitch? ...

HAHAHAHAHAHa

I know this won' t really affect the loyal sony boys (i mean those that will buy a turd stamped sony), but to the average consumer that just spent over US$600 to get the ' latest' High Definition Machine open the box plug the machine in and see its graphics are no better then the Wii (composite doesn' t do 1080p right?).

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA
On ps3 games you are seeing - Gran Turismo HD, game content sold seperately!!

Now on the ps3 console box you see, The only True HD console, True HD capability sold seperately.

HAHAHAHAHAHA

Its funny that people will say its to reduce the cost of the ps3, hey heres a thought - CUT OUT THE BLU RAY $#!t!!!!!!!!!!!!!


HAHAAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHHHAHA

its a phony!! i mean sony!!!

HAHAHAHAHAHA!!

Nice one Terrak

Well, they haven' t released their US sloagan yet so...

So you use your PS2 component cables.

If you don' t own a PS2, you' re a retard. If you don' t have component cables for PS2, you don' t have an HDTV so it doesn' t matter.

Pick one option:

A) You' re a retard that never owned a PS2.
B) You dont have an HDTV anyway.
C) All of the above.

You choose.

What if you' re running stuff through a monitor without component? That' s still HD.

PS2 only supports composite, S-Video, and component.

I know that, hence the ' by some act of divine intervention' .

Did the 360 come with component cable? I don' t think it did.

You know, these companies lose money on every console, but they try to make it back in game and accessory sales. You all know this, so why all the surprise?

Xbox360 comes with component cables you nimwad.

I' m willing to bet Sony will re-release their PS2 component cables and add more rubber to make them look fatter, call them higher quality and sell em for $80, I know thats what monster is for, but still.

Didn' t the core unit only come with composite? I had to buy a vga cable anyway with my premium one.

It' s tight to make the very thing PS3 stands for (True HD TM) an accessory though. I thought it was tight of them to make you buy memory cards separately when PS first came out!

Heh, my friend played the whole of Midgar City in FF7 (like most of disc 1) about ten times before finally getting a memory card so he could save his progress, instead of leaving the PS on all week!

As i said the hardcore gamer this will be a non issue, but lets be real the hardcore gamers don' t make up the 10s of millions of users sony wants to sell the ps3 to. Its made up by your lower then average techophile that was when looking for the so called latest ' True High Definition' machine. I guess its only right that the customer should get this right out of the box, or at the very least have on the box that you are Required to make another purchase to achieve this.

Its nice that ps2 cables can be used for ps3, but does the average consumer know this? Is it printed clearly on the box that to fully appreciate a ps3s power you must have this accessory or must buy it seperately? If not then its a sham.

so if you don' t have a ps2 you' re a retard aye? Hmm there is like 2 Billion people in the world and only 100million ps2s??? so by your definition 1.9 Billion people are retarded?? Ok what ever gets you to sleep at night.
