For the sake of argument, let's say you come across a PS3 at a flea market. When you get home, you find that the salesperson only gave you a console and a controller; that is, he gave you no cables with which to hook anything up. You can still make that PS3 work. Just plug any old power cord into it and plug it in. Got an hdmi cable? ANY hdmi cable? Plug that **** in. Don't have an HD tv? Use the AV cables from your PS2 (and I'm pretty sure PS1 cables work as well). Plug your controller in with any USB cable you have lying around. If you want to use your PS3 controller on your PC, you don't need to buy a proprietary cable like certain other companies force you to do; just use that same USB cable. Is the hard drive it comes with not big enough? You don't need to buy grossly overpriced proprietary hard drives like some other companies force you to do; just open your **** up and slap any hard drive in there. you want a terrabyte hard drive in your PS3? all power to ya. there are no proprietary memory cards with the PS3, just use a flash drive or SD card. All of this serves to make the PS3 seem like something someone would buy at Radio Shack rather than Toys R Us.
The PS3 is like the CDi: expensive, very few games, but ahead of its time in terms of hardware.
