Think I was being a bit flippant there! That’s a good point, Jocke - the type of AV cord is really important. Think I was being a bit flippant there!

I wasn’t totally sure about doing it, as Three Speech is a problematic old thing, as GameSetWatch’s Simon Carless explains. But I’m interested in seeing the site strike that subtle balance between being promotional and being a respected source of PS3 info. So, er, I thought I’d start helping out by doing some old crap about people taking things out of boxes. Oh, and not entirely sure what’s going on with the weird linking style there.

The thing is, that composite AV cord can only handle 480i and the picture will look awful. Not exactly a good match to a 1080p device. Not exactly earthshattering but it is a problem, as the 'user' has to buy the cable separately and if he doesn't realize this he will sit there with a 720p/1080p game and a 480i picture. “Come with AV cord” uhm well it has to, kinda hard to use the console without one.
