PS3 Loses The HDMI Cable
We’ve always thought that the PS3 and HDMI is the perfect couple! We all know the PS3 as a next-gen gaming console. More publicity shy but equally impressive is HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface), which links any compatible digital audio/video source, such as the PS3, to compatible digital audio/video monitor, such as HDTV.
About two months ago, no less than Sony Computer Entertainment”>Ken Kutaragi was crowing about the PS3-HDMI partnership. His exact words were, “By introducing the next-generation HDMI 1.3 technology, with its high speed and deep color capabilities, PS3 will push the boundaries of audiovisual quality to the next level.”
Sounds great except when you get your PS3 it won’t come with an HDMI cable. Sony has confirmed that the PS3 will no longer ship with an HDMI cable because the company doesn’t think there’s enough of you out there with HDTV to justify including the HDMI cable even in the $599 PS3 package.
