You guys know gold is a better conductor which is why they use it in the more expensive cables and having a better connection will reduce distortion and 'noise' in the picture quality. Not to mention they have crappy insolation which can cause distortion if crossed with other cables. We Americans need to get out of the mindset that "cheaper is better" because it's just not true. I swear that if there was something that was American Made for $5 and Chinese Made for $4 most of you would pay the $4 bucks cause "it's the same thing and it's cheaper."

It's disappointing that sony is touting the PS3 as the future of HD games yet provides no HD cables at all. I could forgive no hdmi(i got my cable for $15 online, do not pay more!) but no component cable?Weak.

We should but companies generally don't like to give away freebies, hurts the bottom line. Monoprice or Tigerdirect. :P

No wo shouldn't. It'd add to the cost of the Ps3, which would hurt price drops and profits for the company that would be givng us games, and almost everyone wouldn't use one yet.
