Is it really worth spending the extra dough?

So ive recently bought a new hi def tv and figured i would go out and buy a HDMI cable for my xbox 360 when i went to futureshop i saw the official microsoft HDMI cable for $50 and just a regular one for like $20 so is it worth it spending the extra money for the "official" HDMI cable?

Even $20 is too much. I bought a 6ft HDMI cable off of amazon for $4, with shipping. NEVER buy HDMI cables in store.

nope just pick up any hdmi cable, i personally use a ******.

Even $20 is too much. I bought a 6ft HDMI cable off of amazon for $4, with shipping. NEVER buy HDMI cables in store.

If you really want the best (in terms of quality), there are better cables.. you could get a Monster for that price. Other than that, you'll be better off buying online.

Don't buy either of them. Get a cheap cable. An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable. If you spend $10 on one, you're getting ripped off.

just go to radioshack and get a nice 20 dollar one or if u can find a cheaper one thats even better, paying 50 bucks for one is just outrageously overpriced

Buy a cheap HDMI cable from Amazon.
Price in cables makes no diffrence. CNET use $3 cables when they review tvs and they say it makes no diffrence.

no, buy the cheapest you find. any cable over $20 is ripping you off and the industry in general will continue to take advantage of the consumer.

even ethernet cables after all these years are given bogus pricings.
