HDMI Cable 129.00?

Sorry I can't see paying so much for a wire. What is this stuff made out of gold? Anyone knows where you can find them cheaper than Best Buy or Circuit City?

Try Walmart...I got one there several months ago for around $50 for a 6' HDMI...just checked and they have a 6' on special for about $29.

Thank you I will do just that. I can't believe what they want for them at CC and Best
Buy.

CC and BB make a crapload of money from their overpriced cables. The "monster" cables sold there don't really seem to be of better quality than something you can get online for much much less. I got my 6' HDMI cable online for like $30 and it's been perfect.

I'll never buy cables in a B&M after seeing prices online. You know why when you go and buy a printer it doesn't come with a USB or LPT cable? It's because the stores have forced companies like HP to not include cables in box so that the store can make a hefty profit on an otherwise $8 cable.

I've also purchased a number of cables from monoprice.com. All seem to be good quality and are much less expensive than the store cables.

If you need one "now", get the AR brand from BB. Half the price of Monster and just as good.

If you can wait a day or two, then monoprice.

As herdfan said, just get the AR brand, I have and it's a lot less than the monster cables, which are priced at ridiculous levels.

Monoprice is awesome. Monster sucks. Cable quality is not nearly as important with digital connections. The signal either gets there or it doesn't.

That is rather evil but hey I guess it makes good business sense.

I use the HDMI cable that came with the HR10-250.

From the CC website the HR20 doesn't come with one.

Try http://www.pccables.com/. He handles all kinds of computer and Audio/video cables, at great prices. I have used him for work and personnel cables.

Try pchcables.com, I know him here in Oregon, and he's always got great deals on cables.

That's a shame. I know it was a load off my mind that the cables, other than optical audio leads, were included. And you're absolutely right, it shouldn't cost $129.
