November called, it wants it's thread back.

Sorry, just playing around.  You're right though, a component cable, at least in the 60GB version would have been appreciated by many.

You pay 600$ for system and you didn't know what is inside the box ?...good job !

When you want to buy a console for more than 500$ you better ask/check what is inside...

good luck

true, but all the other stuff you get in with it, (blu-ray player, rechargable controllers, wireless, free online. etc.)

kinda make up for it.

So would you rather pay $650 and have them include the cables for ya?  Would that make ya happy?

They're already taking a huge hit by selling something that costs around $800 to make for $600.

I'm pretty sure they can get cables cheaper than $50.  They can probably make their own cables and it really wouldn't set them back THAT much.....maybe a few dollars.  A few dollars is a small sacrifice to gain consumer respect and loyalty IMO.

I think it was dissolved in the plastic :)

But seriously, Sony looses money if they put a component cable, it isn't free. The system costs what? $847 to make.

But still you gotta admit it would of been nice for them to include component along with A/V cables....I don't think it would cost them much at all.

Would've been nice, but they can't give you EVERYTHING for free. They are covering the network costs to maintain PSN without the support of their users, they have to take a 200$ hit on each console at launch, including cables would have cost them dollars at the manufacturing elvel but that would translate into around 20-30$ at the consumer level.

No, I mean if they didn't put the component cables into the box cuz not everyone has an HDTV, then why even bother using Blu-Ray at all? You need HD to gain the full benefits of Blu-Ray, so why bother if not everyone has an HDTV?

To push people to get into the "new" technology and ditch the "old".

Just do what I did, buy them on eBay for cheap, got mine for 15 bucks Canadian with shipping.  I have a SDTV with component input, and it does make a difference, colours are shown much stronger, and clearer.

My thoughts precisely.
