Yes. That is a pain in the arse. I understand that they want to ship with a connection that everyone has. It is still no excuse though. Both the Xbox and PS3 should have come with component, composite and HDMI cables. They both claim to be HD systems out of the box but they come with cables that can only do 480i.
Composite (Yellow for Video, Red and White for Audio) cables were one step up from RF adapters back in the NES and Sega master System days (85-86) Even those systems had support for it. There is no reason why HD consoles 20-25 years later only ship with a connection that is one step above the old RF switch.
You should get an HDMI cable for your PS3. Don't go for the expensive ones though. The markup on HDMI cables is pure insanity. 10-20 bucks for an HDMI cable is all you need to spend. Don't go to the TV section of a store but browse the computer section. The markups are less there. Or look online for a cheap cable.
(Edit)
Ah yes. I remember my VCR from 1980 having composite connections...yay for MS and Sony for only including connections that are at least 30 years old.
Maybe the PS4 and NeXtbox can ship with this.
