[quote name='getmyrunon']If you think about it, it makes sense. You (and Sony) aren't forced to pay for a cable you aren't going to use (component for some, HDMI for others). Would have been awesome if it shipped with Standard, Component and HDMI all in one but that wouldn't be cost effective.
Small price to pay for the potential of true 1080p down the line (and cheaper than the 360 VGA version).[/quote]
Well there's HDMI cable that's $10 for 6 ft. and Component isn't all that expensive. They could have AT LEAST included HDMI cable....
[quote name='anomynous']Its because the PS3 DOES NOT have a built in scaler, so it shows Blu Ray in 480p,1080i,or 1080p only[/quote]
IMO for Sony, that doesn't make any sense. I don't know how the hardware works or anything, but why would it be a jump from 480p to 1080i/p, just get rid of 480p and put in 720p. People buy Blu Ray for quality picture n sound >_>....you could just buy a regular DVD and watch it in 480p -.-
