I think the reason they ship it with those cables is everyone has composite inputs on their TV. Not everyone has component or HMDI inputs. Some people need a HDMI/DVI cable to play their PS3 on a monitor. Even those who have need for a HDMI cable probably would not all be satisfied with a cable of a standard length, some might prefer 3' and others might want a 20'.

Just like you are upset it didn't come with an HDMI cable, probably just as many people don't need that same cable. Chances are it would increase the retail cost an lower overall sales figures or profits.

Bottom line is you not getting one probably personally saved you money, and most definitely decreased the cost for all PS3 purchasers overall.
