Can someone confirm this about the PS3?

[The Fake Shemp]

I went to EB Games today, and pre-ordered Castlevania (20th Anniversary soundtrack get!), and I overheard that the HDMI cable for the PS3 was not only going to be sold separately, but is going to be sold for $99?  What the fuck, Sony.  That's highway robbery.

I know it's definitely seperately. $99 is definitely possible, if not probable.

And Castlevania is going to be 40 bucks right? Then that soundtrack just softens the price.

yeah but that's because they only sell the huge 50 foot cables in stores to get bigger margins, you can probably find a $20 HDMI online.

I was told you could not buy an HDMI cable online due to Sony's proprietary HDMI port on the unit.  If true, that blows.

I think Castlevania was for $34.99, but I don't care - I'd pay them whatever they want.

I think he was bullshitting you.

BTW Willco, did you get the soundtrack once you pre-ordered, or do you get it when the game comes out?

The guy at the counter said they'd probably get it a week or two before the game comes out, and they'd call ahead to say we can pick it up.  He recommends pre-ordering any Castlevania games anyway, because - duh! - they print like four copies.  Capcom pulls the same shit.

As for the PS3 thing, this was all overheard, but it sounded suspscious.

LOL, this is why I don't trust what clerks or anyone say in any store, and always repel them when they try to come near me, save for my EBGames manager friend... gather your own information instead, and when possible order online not to have to deal with duplicitous nagging morons

total ignorance and deceit rule... watching them bait customers in order to get bigger commissions with their outrageous stupidity is seriously painful
