This Elite Splinter Cell Conviction includes the following items:

Are you fucking kidding me? And no HDMI cable that they used to come with? No fucking way.
Edit: and with this particular bundle I don't even get my month free of XBL? WTF?

Yep. MS got cheap.
-
Part of last year's "price cut."
Shame too, the combo cables from OG XBoxen were really awesome.

Yeah they were. I think I still have some somewhere, but I'll have to dig around or buy some used. This fucking blows.

blame sony

Yeah, I'm recalling how I felt when I remembered that the first PS3's didn't come with it. I remember buying my PS3 and then having to turn and spend another 20 bucks on component cables. But at least I knew that from the start and it's not like the BC issue where they took it out. Sony never had it. This will be the 4th 360 I've bought and all the other 3 had them in there. Gay.

:drool

Microsoft.
smh

UH OH, MS HAS COMPOSITE CABLES, THEYRE AWFUL
-
It's probably a move to appease retailers as much as it is to cost cut.

Nintendo ships with shit cables. Nintard response?
Eh, doesnt look any better with Component. I like it this way.

But the 360 positions itself as a HD console. A HD console without HD cables makes no sense. ???

It's not a big deal. Just an inconvenience and a confusing one at that. I guess they did market studies and the average person didn't care so they saw it as an easy way to save 77 cents? I figure 77 cents (assuming they paid retail which they obviously don't) is worth it for an extra bullet point.
-
Just use the $200 you ripped me off for to buy the cables, asshole. :lol
-
oh snippity-snap dabap-bap

This is a move clearly aimed at the "Himuro" market segment.
Himuro moved onto s-video months ago. This is more Borys territory.

I don't know about down there, but I can walk into my cable company office and ask for an HDMI cable and get one no questions asked. Give it a try if you have a cable box with HDMI.

Well, you're an asshole, so it should be easy for you.

Wasn't there a moratorium on this topic? I mean, if you've literally been ripped off, take him to court. If you've got PMs then you've got proof, make judge judy throw the book at him, whatevs.
