Don't feel so bad, I paid around $30 bucks for that same cable (6ft) from Wal-Mart which is their normal price.

Thanks for all this info. good stuff. I'm definitely getting a PS3- It hought I'd never say that- i hate Sony, but I admit, they were smart with their "evil" plan of making the PS3 a Blu-Ray player.

As of firmware release 1.80, it is a menu option that you can turn on or off under Display settings. I tried it when it came out but my display doesn't support it - the screen was black. It gave me the option to revert back after a few seconds fortunately. Here's a link to all of the PS3's firmware releases:

One more question: Can you explain this "Local Storage Capability" spec, and what capacity the PS3 40G ships with?
Thanks again.
