"Answer how this benefits you as a consumer."

By not paying for something I won't use. I require an HDMI cable with a DVI adapter. Is Sony supposed to provide that for me? What about folks who can only use an analog component cable? Should Sony include both analog and digital cables? Seriously, this is a non-issue, just yet another attempt to spread more FUD about the PS3 and Sony.

Don't like Sony or the PS3? Don't buy from Sony, don't buy the Playstation 3. I know, a difficult concept... but I'm confident y'all will get it eventually.

"Who's with me? :)"

Apparently no one :) I still like your idea though!

Seriously... why would he care. The PS3 will crush the competition, that's very obvious. Don't rip on the guy for telling the truth.

"How important is sound to your gaming experience?"

Very.

The more discrete channels the better too.

"No, no no! DPLII is not *simulated*!"

Um, yeah, it is... according to your own source:

"DPL II implements greatly enhanced steering compared to DPL, and as a result, offers an exceptionally stable sound field that simulates 5.1 channel surround sound to a much more accurate degree than the original Pro Logic."

"THIS is a RUMOR. Not true! Activison has already announced that their games will cost $60. Stop posting lies Joystiq."

But that's what Joystiq does... why change now? Joystiq is a FUD machine, an amusing one at that.

"Yup, just as I suspected: I could care less about new formats."

Ok grumpy old man... "720 × 480 pixels! That's the way it was and we *liked* it!"

Don't fear change... change is good. I know you believe that next-gen media will somehow make you current DVD collection disappear, but assure you that when you look around, they'll all still be there. These new playser are backwards compatible, apparently unlike you.
