I buy my HDMI cables for $15 at a local electronics store.
.45 ACP - because shooting twice is just silly

I always wondered why they were so expensive. Thanks for the tip... may save me some money whenever I buy an HD TV.

Welcome to my world, personally the people who do this should be hung up by one of their cables attached to certain dangly body bits. :mad:

I am certainly not one to buy HDMI cables (They can be acquired for free legally if you know how) but I can see how some more expensive cables have better shielding to prevent dropped packets. While the linked article definitely contains a lot of words it did not contain a test of compliance with the HDMI standard nor a test of error rate in a high noise environment. (Run a microwave next to your HDMI cable or something) Again, I am not advocating more expensive cables but I would prefer to see a research over statements.

Relax, they're just trying to make money off misinformed people, why care? Just be informed yourself.
Because disinformation and bad information gets us into bad ways and those who traffic in it are crooks. Willful deception is a con. You'll think differently when it happens to you.

Reminds me of the electronic shops in downtown Manhattan, NY. I saw a TrendNet wireless usb for $200. It costs $10 at MicroCenter, $20 (with 10 rebate). Also, reminds me of the entire store called Radio Shack.
Radio shack seems to mostly sell phones these days.

Real men don't use instructions. They are only the manufacturers opinion on how to put the thing together.

You are not making any sense. Of course it sucks to be on the bad end of this. So unless you're at the bad end of this, so what?
I hear you Harold. It may be unethical but not illegal. Like those HTML/VB developers of the 90s charging 200 bucks an hour for work that required the intellect and knowledge of a trained 6 year old. :-D
