Kotaku reports that according to GameStop employees, new models of the Xbox 360 Elite - now arriving in stores across the US - no longer ship with an HDMI cable. OK, so they include a component cable instead right? Wrong. The new model ships with only the SD composite cables.

This means that gamers wishing to get the most from their new HD Xbox 360 will need to spent just that little bit more for HD-ready cables.

Well i am being serious. Dont believe me, i swear on my dads life, i did get one with my launch ps3 inside the box. Maybe it was a packing error.

@rbevanx: see not the only one.

@whoever: thanks for the thumbs down for a post that isnt negative or positive.

Karl I think you are gonna have to build a time machine to really 100% conivince us. I bought my PS3 at Blockbuster, Thornhill Cardiff on launch day, I think it was about 4-5 in the afternoon.

Here are some links to get you started on your time machine m8.

ha ha ALL GAME Launch Bundles included a seperate HDMI Cable Fact!

Your bundle would have been Priced at around £549 including 2x Games and a HDMI Cable or £477 with one and a cable! Idiot! It was part of Game Bundle!

Kind of like that!

What am I to believe they gave you a HDMI in the Box but sold them to everyone else but of course your special! Christ people in here have *****memories!
