"Of course, we were interested in why Sony did not run the units with
HDMI. There may be an obvious explanation, but we received some
surprising answers from Sony's staff. First, we were told that it isn't
easy to get a hold of HDMI-equipped TVs. We found this to be very
strange, because after all we were at the Sony booth and all the
television sets had HDMI inputs. On the second try, we were told that
the reason for not using HDMI was that Sony did not have any HDMI
cables and that "they are difficult to find". Matt Butrovich, a former
intern with Tom's Hardware and who walked the show floor with us,
offered the staff to use one of the HDMI cables he actually had in his
car and connect the PS3 with the TVs. Sony officials turned down the
offer and we were left without seeing the demos in HD."


please explain what the LIKELY situation is with the HDMI
specifications, and what this implies for Playstation3.
