I found a HDMI cable for $15 in Xess Cargo on Merivale road. I agree with you. These cables got to be the biggest rip off in technology today. OK, who am I. Enough clues for you? Think of the third floor on Carling, think of the Rock, think of ireland........ Hey Daryl man, I got me one of these doodahs last Xmas. 5o inches.

If you can get your hands on a Monster cable, try a test. I'm positive you'll see a difference, however will that difference be worth $130, that is up to you.

I have a 30' (yes 30 feet) HDMI cable and it didn't cost $150. HDMI can be sent over twisted pair if one wants... the only factors at play is distance (which affects latency/timing) and shielding (which affects signal to noise ratio). Monster cables are actually shit marked up 300%. If you want good cheap cables, buy them at the Home Depot. The RCA cables they sell are high quality but reasonably priced. Ed.
