    Question Planning to buy a PS3 tomorrow. Does it come with an HDMI cable?

    So I'm planning to buy a PS3 tomorrow and was wondering if it comes with an HDMI cable or would I have to buy that as well? While on the topic, does the new Xbox 360 come supplied with an HDMI cable? In case I decided to go that route.

    I bought the Slim + Kinect bundle and unfortunately it didn't come with an HDMI cable.

    Man, it's hard to believe they still ship them with non HD compliant cables.

    Nope, neither one of the consoles come with an HDMI cable, but you can pick that up for cheap.

    In some countries they ship with HDMI, in SA they don't. Although i did read a while back that Ster Kinekor was going to start shipping them with HDMI cables but i believe this hasn't materialised yet. So Like the others users say HDMI cables are cheap buy one its not much of a train smash.

    Well nothing yet. I couldn't find the 160GB PS3 anywhere (which is the one I'm looking for). I will continue the hunt tomorrow methinks.

    I did see an HDMI cable for R139 at Game so I would likely get that one.

    I got one from games for R120. Its hdmi v1.3a or something. The 1.4 version is about R240 from sound check in centurion. It's been a while so the prices might have changed :/

    Yeah I also don't get why they don't come with cables. Bit silly.
