with hdmi, a lot says there's no difference between cheap and high-priced ones. but that's digital.

now, component is analog, i believe. so is the case the same or not? would the official sony serve me better or i can just get those cheap ones at ebay?

thanks.

Ok many people say there is not difference, but they dont know what they are looking for. There is a difference in HDMI cables, whether you see it or not is something else. Some people have a keener eye than others. It really depends for component cables, the cheapest of the cheap will be crappy, and probly provide a much inferior signal. Although you shouldnt need an official one, go in between somewhere to play it safe. Some cheaper ones are good other are not.

I found a generic one at ebay for 5 bucks. My next option is going to BestBuy. They have the official Sony ones and Rocketfish. Price for both is the same at $20. Too steep for me. Can't find anything in between. Im just worried the generic from ebay will be crap.

I used to have these and they seemed to work great, good quality cables, if i remember correctly.
