 I totally hate this move. Fine, most people get the HDMI cable anyhow, but I already have the component and don't want to get an upgrade unnecessarily. It's a good thing that they won't force this onto every single console.

 I remember when i was in school, and we had companies such as Crestron and Elan come in during job fair week. They told us the days of composite cables and component cables were coming to an end. It was just when this movement would start is what the industry is waiting for. Maybe this is an indication of the movement beginning.

@Vinod: Why do you think you're PS3 should suddenly stop supporting component? This is for new PS3's only.

I do not thing it will concern gaming.  Read "limit". So it will be only for Blu-Rays.

All PS3s have got HDMI out. What will happen then to earlier XBOX360s?

It will lower production costs.

I tried both component and HDMI. On PS3 it was a huge difference. Not much on XBOX360.

It is 2011.

I agree with the post of 8; I have my PS3 connected via HDMI to the TV but I also have audio coming out of the optical cable to my surround system; you should be able to get things to work just fine.

This is most probable because of the security measures. Soon you won't be able to run non-original content on any of the consoles. Starting with the PS3.

 it's for the new ones only... if you have one and do not plan on buying another, than this does not concern you!  I ould catagorize this under no big deal.

Dont get angry at Sony people this goes for all blu-ray players. In 2013 or something all blu-ray players must ship with no component plug at all.

 @K2D I did say that "  It's a good thing that they won't force this onto every single console. ". And it turns out, it'll only be for Blu-Ray anyhoo. So, YAY!
