It's like computer printers that don't come with cables where the Playstaions and X boxes don't come with hi def coax cable connectors and you have to buy them.Little 3 foot coax cables cost $22.The 6 footers run over $30,Then if you want a plastic connector to turn your flat screen into a computer monitor that costs $22.All this stuff costs pennies,nickels and dimes to produce.Obama or Herman Cain has to come up with a law combatting this thievery.Call it the 666 law.
