Sorry, but you're wrong. You shouldn't insult other people when, technically, they're correct. Throwing down $60+ for an HDMI cable is for the ignorant masses who don't know anything but the marketing that they've been spoonfed. Third-party clinical tests have shown that "Brand-name" cables are not superior to many other "generic" brands on the market. The only tests in which some of the brand-name manufacturers excelled (due to increased cable shielding) were in wire runs in excess of 50ft. Most people only need 3-10ft HDMI cables. Therefore, in most cases, well-made off-brand cables are just as good as name-brand cables for a fraction of the price. Jerry. Sorry, but you’re wrong.

Hmmm ... You are wrong because those cheap cables do not give you a true quality picture. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR !!!!!! FOR INSTANCE: You're probably the type of guy that loves to listen to your music on those cheap $.99 headphones to from the dollar store and I only listen to my music on Bose Headphones that cost $700 a pair .... My point is plain and simple "I love and appreciate Quality audio and video equiptment". Keep in mind, I'm not rich and I'm not a "brand name snob" but I will save my money and buy what works the best as well as what will last a long time.... *remember kids German products = Quality & China products= Junk (LOL) You obviously don’t know what your talking about when You wrote that a cheap HDMI cable is just as good as “Monster Garbage (Monster cable=brand name)”….

Best Buy and Circuit City folks will try and sell you on that Monster garbage because they are trying to increase their units per transactions...but really... just get a decent quality hdmi cable for less than half of that and you'll be fine.

Im sure it would at least help identify which controller is yours. but come on now, u act like u dont have the faintest idea what they are for!

Are you mad? THEY ARE DIGITAL, extra money makes NO DIFFERENCE, spend $20 and have done with it. WTF? $100 on a HDMI? Are you mad?
