I'm just a little upset more about the cable that they don't provide you with. I guess this is how it usually happens. The first year or two they provide more and then when the price reduction comes they take out some things provided with the console.
I just think its stupid for Sony or M$ to really push that their console is High Def when they do not provide cables and people think the composite cables that come with the console is HD.

I opened it up and they do no even supply a component cable for the system. My first 360 pro that I bought when it launched came with a component cable. This standard cable doesn't even support optical output. Now I have my own hdmi cable, but this was something that M$ was suppose to have that one slight upper hand on sony. I swear they supplied all the cables for the elite system.

My last line I said I feel for those who are now just buying. Just because the cable is actually worth $3 doesn't mean anyone can buy it new for $3. I already have my cables, I just think its very dumb that the "elite" is really just 120gig hd and thats it.
Yeah I got a PS3 and it does let me connect both at the same time but its a useless system for me. It was good for blu rays until I made a htpc. I was using it for a long time just so someone could listen to some radio.
Just think of the stuff that the elite used to come with a hdd transfer kit, hdmi cable, component cable. Now none of those come with it and they just give you a standard cable with no optical cable connector.
But doesn't anyone else think what they supply you with is just silly.

I've heard if you call MS and really talk to them you may be able to get them to send the HDD transfer kit, but thats all. I think its weak you need the optical adapter and cant just plug an optical cable in.
