I'm asking you fellow gamers, what HDMI cable are you currently using? I just want to know so I know I'm getting my moneys worth.

Thanks for any responds

Any HDMI cable works the same. Here's the thing, HDMI is digital (unlike component or compsite) so it's all (great picture) or nothing (nothing as in no picture). Any HDMI cable will work. I suggest monoprice.com because of their low prices. Oh and all of the v1.3 or v1.3a stuff doesn't matter. They are all the same cable wise because they all have the same connectors.

The cheaper the better. Don't buy into overpriced cables.

Yep, picture is pretty much always going to be the same. Anyone who says else-wise is either a HDMI cable salesman, or a guy who regrets spending 90 dollars on monster cables.

Lol, not exactly. More like 3.5$ Anyway, 50$ is WAY WAY WAY too much to spend on a HDMI cable.Rather buy a 10$ HDMI cable and 1-2 games.

They are not all the same actually. There are new types of wires with a bigger range of colours and it is a bit more for them and the wires actually do have more bandwidth than traditional HD wires. If you're not getting the 1.3a wire then you can buy can buy pretty much any HDMI cable and it will do.

I use a Phillips HDMI cable I got at Walmart to $30. You can get one online for much cheaper but I wanted the cable then and I didn't want to wait.

I really hope you are kidding. Get your HDMI cable from amazon for $4. The $46 remaining will buy you a game or lots of good PSN games.

They all work fine. I have a generic 6 foot cable that I bought on Amazon for 3 dollars including shipping. Works just like any other HDMI cable. Don't waste your money on a specific brand of cable. they all work exactly the same.

Thanks for all the replies and no I did not purchase the $50 HDMI cable. I went to wal-mart today and purchased 2 HDMI cables for my PS3 and 360 for $40. Again thanks for all the positive replies. :)

Eh you could have got two for 10 dollars from monoprice.com but whatever floats your boat.
