I was looking at the PS3 at CNA and to my shock the box was marked at R1799.00! I was about to call a salesperson over and ask them to open the glass case, then I noticed this was not the console but the GT5 Special Edition box (why so huge?).

:eek:

You happy with it? The wireless N and the fact that it has wireless controllers are a big seller for me.

I would guess component, which has 3 cables normally whereas composite has 5 IIRC, unless he is only referring to the "video cables" :)

Well he states standard cable which I highly doubt would be a composite cable, so I'm guessing component :p

In this day and age when most things are HDMI it's not uncommon to have HDMI or component cables bundled with your devices.

HD PVR is a simple example, I don't think my question was unreasonable.

Agreed, but composite cables have always been quite expensive in my experience.
And no, your question wasn't unreasonable, we were both just guessing :)

Lol, well I went out and bought the 4GB jobbie and I must say I'm very impressed with the new console. Nice and compact, very quick and easy to setup. I had it connected to my Live account through my wireless N network in a few minutes. Got it running over HDMI to my 720P 50" with the optical audio.

Bought NFS Hot Pursuit as well which I'm enjoying quite a bit.
