I just bought a PS3 for myself and noticed something: they keep yelling about the incredible graphical possibilites of the PS3, and how HD and the HDMI cables changes everything and makes for a perfect audio/visual experience yet, when It's time to release the thing, they ship it with standard resolution cables and sells the HDMI cables for as much as a hundred bucks ( Sony Style, in Canada, Quebec). Am I the only one feeling a little raped over it? Microsoft, for once, did the right thing and at least launched with HD/standard cables (wich I still find to be one of the best little thingy Microsoft ever did), so it would showcase the true power of the console right out of the box.

And lately it's been something I find quite annoying with Sony: Their tendancy to ship a product that is incomplete, like the PSP without any Memory stick whatsoever (yes I know the first edition had one, but since then?). They keep getting better but each time there is that one little thing missing in the box that always makes me go "damn, I have to go back to the store, I forgot to buy X little thingy". It could almost be labeled hidden costs, wich is a bad business practice.

Well at least their controller didn't ship with non rechargeable AA batteries. *Hint Microsoft, hint*
