Is Sony cutting corners with PS3?

ARS Technica reports that Sony's launch of PS3 will include in the less expensive $499 version the absence of built-in WiFi support and "most importantly for a device meant to get Blu-ray into homes everywhere, no support for HDMI."

Those who purchase the more-expensive PS3 for $599 "with its larger hard drive and HDMI port will have to shell out an additional $25 or so for an HDMI cable, which will not be included with console."
