This is not a huge deal for most but it a little disappointing...

Exactly the type of thing I expect from Microsoft.

Not really a deal breaker though.

 

[Andy]

Wow, I thought it meant just the HDMI cables, but component cables TOO? I don't really know what they are playing at with this...

 

[KezraPlanes]

First they up the price of the arcade, and now this?

Someone at m$ is smoking too much...

The PS3 doesen't either, which sounds stupid when you think about it. Get ready for HD Gaming, but you won't be able to straight out of the box :/

That bothered me, cause I bought the PS3 at launch price. And at that price I was expecting a fucking HDMI cable.

 

[Bizarre]

Not that its a big deal but does anyone know why? Or is it just to save money?

 

[Adiuvo]

Saving money is the only possible reason.

I was going to buy the Elite after the price went down, and this happens. :/ Not that it really matters for me, but it's a bit disappointing.

No HD?

No HD?

I have an HDTV, small one, but this was going to be for my small SDTV. It's a hassle switching between consoles.

I sure the ones in the store still have the hdmi cables... Why not just buy a arcade and swap HDD...

Since the Elite is the same price as a Pro now, why not get Elite? I was working on get a Pro anyway.

I never understand these kinds of moves. The $.20 they save per console can't be worth the bad PR they're inevitably gonna get.
