There's some pretty damn good HDMI cables for like $6 at amazon.com. So many users rated it with nearly 5 stars out of 5. But it's an unbranded cable.

I was dumb and bought the official Sony HDMI cable at Target for $40 when I bought the system last weekend. Of course, come to find out, I could've gotten a much cheaper cable that would've done just as well. Go figure.

Those don't make any difference in performance...

EDIT: Having just looked at mine and found it to be gold plated, you got ripped.

Paid about 20-25$ not really sure. It was teh cheapest I found in an hour span and didn't wanted to waste more time, that range is a fair price imo.

About $13 for a "budget" HDMI cable off amazon.com. I think the maker was "Cables Unlimited". At any rate, after recovering from the mild coronary at seeing the retail prices for name-brand HDMI cables in stores, I opted to try this cable. Works like a dream. Could not be happier with both the substantial money I saved, and the quality of the picture I get from my PS 3. In my humble opinion, Monster Cables are a scam, probably the biggest scam, and other over-priced brand-name cables are scams as well. Which is not to say all budget cables are good choices. I initially tried one purchased at Fry's, and it was absolutely horrible. This one I got from Amazon, however, is great. My hope is that someday more and more people will catch on to the good low-priced cables, and the price-gouging which is inherent in other cables will go away.

I bougth one for about 100$, but as the shipping was taking too long (couple of months), I decided to buy a cheap one near home while I was waiting.

The sad part is, now that I have both, I can't notice the diference :(

At least you didnt pay like $100 for an HDMI cable, some guy was on this forum earlier saying he would NEVER get a cable from mono-whatever and would only get the best cables like monster etc. He must have money to burn, because there is no difference in picture quality in those cables.... its a digital signal!!!
