While this really isn’t a huge matter in and of itself, it’s been confirmed that Sony’s upcoming PlayStation 3 console won’t have an HDMI cable included. This obviously only applies to the $600 PS3 (the $500 PS3 won’t have HDMI, period), and shows that Sony is really looking to cut costs anywhere they can in order to keep their losses at a minimum. So, if you’re looking forward to playing PS3 games or watching Blu-ray disc in 1080p, make sure you have a HDMI cable on-hand.

Again, this isn’t a big deal in the long run, for a number of reasons. First, while HDMI cables can come as high as $100, there are also the $13 variants that should work just fine. Second, come November the PS3 will still be the only console with HDMI capabilities, so paying $13 for a little cable will seem worth it when you’re watching the results on your HDTV. Finally, if you’re one of the lucky few to own a HDTV and a 60GB PS3, are you really gonna break the bank with a $13 cable?
