Default PS3 and HDMI

I have a quick question about the PS3 and HDMI. I've searched around different stores like Circuit City and Best Buy and noticed that there are several different kinds of brands for HDMI cables all with different prices. I was wondering if there was a difference in quality between all of them. And if So which brand offers the best? And also if not, have any suggestions on which one to buy? Thanks

with digital signals you dont need to spend 150 dolars on an hdmi cable, you could easily just purchase a 10-15 dollar hdmi cable and it wil work fine, as long as it isnt too long.

yeah get a 360 and replace it like 15+ times a year until your warranty runs out, and settle for an inferior system i'm sure youll thank yourself when you dont have any money because you had to buy all the addons just to make it half of what ps3 is, and dont forget your yearly $50 for xbox live, which is a joke btw since you are paying for the max 8players tohost the game themselves

The HDMI that i bought for mine is the 70 dollar one that gamestop sales and it look just as good as the 100 dollar one I bought for the satellite.

no matter what type of of cable you get the picture will be the same... It is a digital signal...

But.. the cheaper cables that have a thinner jacket are susceptible to shorts if they are beaten on and bent.

Digital is digital. If they are certified HDMI cables it doesn't matter what the price tag is. You can get the same technical quality cable for $5 or $120. Don't waste your money on pricey Monster cables, or anything that's branded specifically for a game system. If you are still looking, Tendon - Computer Cables, USB Cables, DVI Cables, FIREWIRE Cables, VGA Cables, SVIDEO Cables, Audio and Video Connections. is selling 1m HDMI for $5 with free shipping.
