Funny that you mention the lack of 480P on most PS2 titles and yet the system that did utilize 480P.....

Who are you kidding? Like i mentioned previously, 95+% of ps2 games did not support 480p. And still to this day new ps2 games are not supporting 480p.....Okami, FFXII. Why you ask? Because the games are renderd internally at 320 x 240.....240p. That way the ps2 can handle the games, whereas 480p would kill the framerate.

I agree with the whole "$ony is loosing money on every console" thing. But whats another $10 dollars??? They absolutely should have included component cables, it was stupid not too.

use your PS2 cables

and sure what's another $10....multiply by 480,000 units on the 17th launch = a lot of money.

Actually a set of component cables that are equal quality to the composit cable already included would have cost next to nothing.

It is bad business to make a console out to be the best HDTV solution and then not have it be capable of HDTV out of box.

Stupid Stupid Stupid decision, Bad sony

I know you like to play devils advocate but come on man!

Sony could have left the composit on with the component like the 360 did. This is a standard cable configuration that is very common.

Not sure how old this topic is but its funny that microsoft found an option. Their HDTV cable in the premium has composite and component so sony could have done something simaler very easily. And you guys are talking online prices for sony to create a component cable might cost them 1 dollar. Sure it costs 10 dollars online but those companys have to make money

$300 xbox360 core + $100 HDD + $200 HD-DVD = $600. PS3 20GB HDD sytem = $500 US. Your canadian figures are fubar.

Pound for pound, you end of paying $100 US more for the 360 if you include the HD-DVD player. But at least you have the option to spend more if you want to. 90% of GAMERS want a video GAME sytem to play GAMES on.

The core console is $400 in Canada. PS3 core is $550 And even with your figures it comes out to more. Yea, not everyone wants a high definition drive, but for those who do, the PS3 is a better value than the 360.

Also, this thread is about the "next generation" with people complaining because they have to buy some new cables. People who care about next gen multimedia would likely want a high definition drive. My point is that no one should complain about having to buy some cables when they're really getting more for their money. The cables are nothing.
