HdMI ?

Hey ive been thinking about getting an hdmi cord but does it really make a difference? i have a40" 720p lcd, are there universal ones that will go in xbox and ps3 because i dont want to have to buy two seperate cords. thanks for any input.

Yes, they are all the same, just remember to get the HDMI 1.4 standard.

and dont spend more than $10 for it.

Yes, it matters!
One HDMI cable takes both video and audio through one cable and resolution is up to 1080p.

For the other question:
The same HDMI cable will work on both Xbox 360 and PS3.

HDMI cable is digital, instead of composite and component cables which are analog and there for the quality of the cables is important.
As a HDMI, it doesn't matter if it's only 5$ cable or a 100$ cable, quality is excactly the same.

Only difference is how they made the cable, and that is shown in the price, not in the quality of video and audio.

Well, you can buy HDMI cables off Amazon for literally pennies, no lie (I bought one for 1 cent, but shipping was of course $2.50). That's for a 6' long cable too. Also, this cable compared to the $50 one from microsoft (which I own due to the optical audio accessory it comes with) gives the same quality picture. I have about 5 HDMI cables ranging from $0.01 to $2.50 to $50 which all perform the same.
