they most likely ripped that sony cable off the accessory bag for the demo unit or open box units. what that means is when some poor guy buys the demo, he will be missing a usb cable thanks to you. inconsiderate bitch.

wow...your words really hurt. really.

actually I asked the sales guy if he had any mini USB to USB cables in stock. He said no, but had one just lying around that nobody had claimed. I asked him if I could buy it, he then checked with his manager, and his manager gave him the ok to give it to me. I said thanks, shook the guys hand, and saved myself the replacement cost.

Have a great night.

Have a great night. my words arent supposed to hurt. they are supposed to let u know that someone is missing a usb cable cuz of u. that obviously hasnt sunk in though, has it? those cables are never just "lying around" cuz they come with the devices that need them. so someone, somewhere is missing a cable, because of you. how do u know its unclaimed? how do u know that it didnt just fall out of an accessory bag? did the manager check each one?

and thanks for wishing me a great nite. cuz so far, its sucked.

monster has cables for anything.....so expensive though. But whats the point of a moster usb. I mean a/v cables are something totally different, but computer stuff is 1s and 0s, so what would be the point??

If you guys need mini usb to usb 'A' cables, I know memory express carries them.
