Why do people buy a $600 plus tax system just to buy cheap accessories later....

In Internet terminology, a troll is someone who intentionally posts derogatory or otherwise inflammatory messages about sensitive topics in an established online community such as an online discussion forum to bait users into responding. Wikipedia

Nicely done.

Troll = TC

Inflammatory message = "I purchased an expensive HDMI cable so I'm better than you"

Goal? = Baiting others into responding so that he can criticize them.

Yeah, everything checks out.

You'd think the mods would close this rapdily festering argument thread already. 

[QUOTE="bluegender"]And yet you didn't answer my question about why did you buy a PS3 then if money is such an issue?.mdl207

Who said money was an issue?

I purchased a PS3 because it was the system I wanted.

I purchased a $6 HDMI cable because it was the cable I wanted.

In the end, my system outputs the same gorgeous graphics as yours does.

And that's all that counts. 

Calm down buddy,I don't want your blood pressure to go up.But what you just typed made no sense,you shouldn't have even brought a PS3 if you are just going to buy cheap add ons,but to each his own.BBL.

My cheap addon works just as well as the regular priced accessory.

Awesome. 

Who said anything about spending $100?.A Sony brand HDMI cable only cost $60.

Come on man if you can spend $600 plus tax on a system why not go all out?

Exactly.

What's the benefit from spending 10x as much for the official cable?

Ahh I see! 

Though if my ps3 breaks down, i'm not going to tell them i used a non sony brand hdmi cable. Sony has to know that you used it before they can claim that your warranty is voided

I'm pretty sure a huge hardware company like Sony would know if you used their accessories or not.This isn't Microsoft we are talking about now.

:D That was my reaction too.

Can you imagine the look on the customer support team if they heard a call like this?

"Hi! My PS3 is broken. I think it's because I used a non-Sony HDMI cable. Can it be salvaged?" 

No i'm not working for Sony.....it's called reading the manuals.bluegender

Let me ask you the same thing,If saving money was an issue why even buy a PS3 then?.Buying cheap accessories is for your PS3 is like eating caviar on saltine crackers.

You're confusing cheap with inexpensive. 

Exactly!! He's under the impression that cheap means inferior. Only an idiot would pay more for the same QUALITY cables as the cheaper ones. Now if the cables were inferior in quality then he might have a point but he's not saying that. His point is that if you can spend $600 on the PS3 then you MUST pay $60 for HDMI. Why pay only $60? Why not go al out and buy the most expensive cables money can buy since you're obvioulsy rolling in it.

I was planning on paying my jeweler a cool $30 mil to encrust my HDMI cable with diamonds. I mean, if you're going to purchase a PS3, why not go all out?

I'll have to move some funds around in Switzerland to finish the diamond encrusting of my HDTV and the PS3 unit itself.

I fear encrusting my controllers with diamons would lead to finger blisters though. Perhaps I'll just gold plate them.

The first time I saw this come up I believe it was related to a set of 3rd party components.  They utilize the multi-out port, a proprietary port for the PS family.  HDMI, USB, and Optical cables all comply to generic industry regularions and standards.  Any cable utilizing a non-proprietary port should be fine.
