Read the double asterisk at the bottom of the page... which is mentioned after the display outputs.

So now, not only do you have to drop $600 for the full fledged PS3, $70 for a game, and some $2,000 on a HDTV... but you have to plunk down more cash on the HD cables...

Oh, and "copy protected Blu-ray video discs can only output at 1080p using an HMDI cable connected to a device that is compatable with the HDCP standard."

Hm. So now it won't even play blu-ray out of the box too...

Discuss.

EDIT: reading that site also points out that the cheaper model WON'T have HMDI output... so there won't even be BRD movie playback on it. Interesting.
