Ive just bought a Blu ray player and went to Maplins to get a hdmi cable.
£32 !
I didnt buy one and asked the 12 year old who worked there why they were so expensive and fair play to the chap he said dont bother, just go to HMV or somewhere and buy one for a fiver.
I have therefore ordered 3 off of amazon for a few quid each.
Fearing I may be losing some of the Blu Ray experience I just did some research and was shocked to find out that there is no difference at all between a cheap lead and one that costs £120 !
What a rip off.
Now I remember paying a lot of money for analogue cables for my hifi and speakers as you do get better quality (although whether ID have noticed is another thing) so I assumed the same of HDMI.
So despite what Comet salesmen might say when you buy a TV dont fork out for expensive HDMI Cables and thanks to 12 year old Maplin guy for saving me a fortune.
