dante3000 Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 And that shit didn't come with an HDMI Cable. What the fuck Sony?! Let's ignore that you're selling the most expensive system on earth AND it's as big as four Wii's duct taped together, you're one selling point is that it has a blu-ray player and you cheap out on an HDMI cable? Fuck that nonsense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 Haha, it was a gift from my father who I won't be spending Christmas with (hanging out with the inlaws) and he's all about being there when we open stuff, brings him some cheer.

Fair enough. I suck at giving gifts and waiting for people to open them. I think I gave my grandfather his birthday gift about 5 minutes after I bought it. And two weeks early.

destroyingthescene Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah, PS3 does stiff you when it comes to the cables, I found that out when I got mine last week. You forget about it once you start playing it, namely Metal Gear Solid 4. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dante3000 Posted December 22, 2008 Author Share Posted December 22, 2008 i have an extra hdmi cable. want it for cheap? Eh already got one. I was just amazed when I opened it and there was nothing, not even component cable. Seriously, as an AV nerd I was stunned. Still it looks great at 1080p. Looking forward to getting some Blu-Ray DVD's and games after the holidays. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I take my old printers to Goodwill, and they seem almost mad that I don't bring in the USB cable. I'm not buying another one every time I get a printer.

They stick the WAY overpriced cables right around it to lure you into a $30 cable you could get for $4. I checked on NewEgg.com and found a 6ft USB cable for $2 compared to one at Best Buy for $30.

kyle Posted December 22, 2008 Share Posted December 22, 2008 Yeah, Sony is a bunch of cheapos. They're cheapos who are selling every single PS3 at a loss because if they attempted to sell them for what they're actually worth nobody would buy it. HDMI cables can be found for less than $10, so if you can afford a PS3 you can afford an HDMI cable Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HDMI cables can be found for less than $10, so if you can afford a PS3 you can afford an HDMI cable ALL systems, save for the Wii I think, are being sold for a loss to get them in people's hands so they can make more money on game licenses. The wider the audience the more the game license fee. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
