As though it wasn't disappointing enough to learn that Sony's $499 PS3 won't come with the high-def support that the $599 model will, today we learn that the $599 model won't come with the cables necessary to enjoy the benefits of a high-def PS3. Expect to shell out another arm and a leg for these cables, as Sony is well known for the high price of its proprietary elements.

I've decided that Sony is actively trying to get people to NOT buy its PS3 console upon release on November 17th. Anyone else?
