Skyhawk, I have more reasons I wont buy a PS3 including the lack of PS2 game compatibility, the delayed PS3 launch in Europe, PS3 coming without HDMI cables or component cables (it was like this early on, not sure if the cables are included now or not), Sony's arrogance prior to PS3's launch, the crappy online service and most games I want I can get for the 360. I also didn't get one before I got into this format war because I didn't want to be forced into the format war.

Soapflake, if you want to hear something really funny... the XBox 360 doesn't even come with wifi ($100 extra plugin thingy), nor even with a Blu-ray player! And you're worried about the PS3 coming with an HDMI cable? 
The PS2 compatibility of the $399 PS3 didn't bother me, because I'm not a console gamer. And if I had a big library of PS2 games, I'd likely play them on a PS2 anyway.

If the lack of an HDMI cable with the PS3 is such an issue, then go to Monoprice.com and get a real good quality cable for less then $5. Next to getting one for free that's as good as it's gonna get.

Problems with the PS3:
1.Most dual platform games are better on 360.
2.The PS3 is starting to require mandatory installation for some Capcom games (5GB).
3.The hardware has yet to prove itself as reliable under extended use.
I know a lot PS3 owners brag about their system being on Folding when they aren't using it, and they say "it still works like new". It's not like a car when your transmission or radiator can go bad. These things show no signs of trouble. It doesn't get sick and then die - it just dies.
The 360 was a disaster at launch, but now with the Falcon hardware, I actually felt comfortable enough to purchase one. I wanted a 360, but I waited until MS actually did something to help prevent the RROD. The PS3 is very much like the 360 - a bunch of high tech parts meshed together with untried methods.
I do really like the Wi-fi out of the box. MS's $99 adapter is ridiculously priced. Luckily I didn't have to purchase a long cable. I ran one to my DSL modem, then one to my Wireless router, and from there to my 360. I did try some online play on the PS3 and it's great, but it isn't as robust as XBox live.
