    Not that I ever had anything against it, just never had enough money saved up.  My problem though, is that I can't figure out if the PS3 only comes with the HDMI output cable, or if it comes with the AV Cables the Xbox 360 Pro comes with.  My HDTV is an older model with no HDMI input, so I needed to know this before I buy one.  Thanks.

    I know it comes with AV cables, but does it come with the HD AV cables (I guess that's what you call them...)?

    It comes with composite cables. If your TV doesn't have HDMI, then you need to get component cables for HD.

    Bah.  Ok, thanks.  I can get them for ~$20 bucks, right?

    Nice. Welcome to the dark side! Just kidding. I don't even own a PS3 yet, just wanted to say that. (meant nothing by it by the way, not bashing PS3. Theres enough of that going on here already it seems.)

    Yup. Composite cables are pretty cheap.

    It comes with composite A/V cables. So you need to go and get the Component A/V cables if you want at least 720p HD.

    yeah he's right, there really isn't a big difference, its just with HDMI that it really matters.
