It’s great to hear about the price drops on the 360, but what’s with the downgrade in cables?  A regular old A/V connection?  Really?  Granted HDMI cables are ludicrously cheap these days, but at least make an effort Microsoft.

And ‘Soft spokesdude Chris Lewis coughs up this lame excuse for the disappearance of high-def cables:

Removing the HMDI cable gives the flexibility to consumers who can then decide which type of cable they want for their specific gaming and TV screen set-up.

Blecch.
