PlayStation 3 Launch - No High Def Cables Included

PS3As reported by Stage Select earlier, the PlayStation 3 will not be sold with HDMI cables upon release of the system next month. As suspected, the system will not ship with component cables - both PlayStation 3 packages come with composite (standard definition) cables in the box. Sony has announced their branded HDMI cable at $50.

As expected, the price of first party PlayStation 3 games will be $60 (US). Here are the titles scheduled for release on launch of the PlayStation 3:

It's been confirmed through other sources that Lemmings 2 will also be made available through this service. The games will allow you to share your experience with up to 5 friends (this has been announced, but not detailed - it's assumed that a "pay once, share 5 times" model is coming).

Each PlayStation 3, for the first 500,000 units, will include a Blu-Ray movie: Talladega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. The online service for the PlayStation 3 was confirmed once again, to be free for online play, voice and video chat, text messaging, and friends lists.
