Well, duh, way to repeat what I just said. It still doesn't mean it wasn't a stupid choice (read: cheap choice) to include a ridiculously short 3 ft cord for the controller. Especially since it doesn't charge unless the console is on, so it's not like it's just a short charge cable, it's a short playing cable. And there's no such thing as a "normal" length USB cord -- it was just a cheap decision.

But I can't imagine you admitting anything Sony did with the PS3 was dumb in any way...
