I got a PS3 the other day and needed an HDMI cable for it. I rolled down to the Shack and they wanted $30 for the cheapest cable. Fast forward to today, I logged onto Amazon to see what they have.

Ya that’s right. $0.13 for a six foot cable!!! It’s $4.80 or something for shipping but whatever. You can’t beat that.

I just don’t get why people would over pay so much at local stores when they can literally get it for pennies from teh interweb.

I don’t know, doesn’t exactly look like it’s certified or terminated well… I think you’d be a lot better off going with a better cable like this for $5:
