I stocked up on a number of HDMI cables c/o monoprice.com. Got some 5' for about $6 each plus S&H. I wouldn't be overly upset about PS3 not coming with an HDMI cable.
Personally, I'll be buying a PS3 once FFXIII comes out, and by then the 65nm chipped PS3s should be out (I would think). Pretty much after the whole RROD debacle got blown out of the water, I decided to not purchase an xbox. If a company is knowingly releasing a poor-quality product, I'm just gonna steer away from it.
