....but that doesn't make the PS3 a bad gaming machine. Just over-marketed and more than a little top-heavy. Still looking forward to Heavenly Sword. :D

Gamers really don't need anything, they can have as much fun playing scrabble than they can playing GeOW

There's no difference in audio/visual quality whether you're using HDMI or component/optical with the 360. It only matters for the PS3, because the PS3 is capable of delivering lossless audio codecs.

I agree, I don't have an HDTV, therefore I shouldn't be forced to pay for unnecessary items on the console. Options FTW!

Who upgrade the SAME console just to get HDMI when the picture quality of VGA/Component is just as good? HDMI = overrated.

Because it costs literally nothing for Microsoft to add it, and it makes a good bullet point for the sales ads.

Please. If HDMI is usless, there would be no need to tack it on now. If its so cheap, then why not include it from the beginning?

Because the HDCP wasn't standardized when the 360 came out. There was no reason to put it in then. And HDMI is as useless as SD/CF cards on the PS3. There is no need to tack it on, but it makes for a good bullet point to sell to customers. Especially with Sony cramming all that HDMI marketing junk down everybody's throats.

The last fighting game Ninja Theory made was called Kung Fu Chaos, and it sucked. You should hype decent developers, not pretty graphics by dodgy developers.

I know very well their history, and yes I'm wary, but it was live-demo'ed at E3 and everyone who played it there said that it was one of the best games at the show, so I'll go by their word for now. Pretty sure Sony helped them out by lending them a couple of GOW developers, too.

Use Component which you will never see a difference in. There is more HDTV's that have component than have HDMI, and EVERY HDTV will have component.
