[quote name='dallow']TV I had in middle school had an S-Video input.
The one throughout highschool had component.
That was yeeeeeeears before HDTVs started showing up.[/QUOTE]
Well, I've only ever bought tv's just to watch tv on, so I didn't really care what kind of ports they came with and I absolutely refuse to upgrade until prices are cheap enough for me.
If Sony made it so they only included the HD or higher end cables with the PS3, they would probably have ALOT of really pissed off consumers.
As for me, I may buy this 21" ACER LCD monitor I saw the other day that has HDMI and a couple other inputs on it, since it's HDCP compatible and will work with my PS3. But the speakers suck on it, so unless there's some way(other than buying a $30 surround sound from Kmart on top of the monitor)to jack in speakers that don't sound like ass, I may hold off on it.
