Where did you get your HDMI cable?
Hi Guys,
I need another HDMI cable that will connect from my LCD TV to PS3.
Where did you get yours? I returned the one that I had to my mom, we bought it from the brick when we bought our LCD TV there. I think we paid $70-$80 for it.
I guess my question is, where did you get yours? I found some on craigslist for under $20 generic/un known brand. Are these worth it? Is this one of the things "you get what you pay for" or are they all the same shit? Of course I will want to maximize the quality of the LCD TV+PS3 combo. I mainly use it as a bluray player, and seldom play random games with it.
Please let me know. I need one asap!
Thanks.

Cheapest you'll find. All HDMI cables <25m are the same. You should not pay more than $10 for one (depending on length). You got utterly robbed by paying $70 for an HDMI cable

you dont believe the actual mark up for these cables @ futureshop..
if you can get a staff to get it for you.. it is nearly 80% off.
which is still overpriced

Bought mine from NCIX for $5 as well.
Do not pay more than 10 bucks for one. Hell, for me even 10 bucks is too much.

For people willing to wait a week, there was a deal in RFD that I saw for 5 HDMI cables that came out to $8.20 total which includes shipping already

I bought mine from Craigslist. Some woman in Abbotsford. Dropped it off at work. I think they were two for 15 bucks. 6 foot lengths. No tax, shipping bullshit.
