Alright I've been on this board for a while and every now and then I post some new bargains and the fact that I have more than 5 posts should be proof enough that I'm not a scam-artist.

The site is www.firefold.com

The HDMI Cables are available from 1 foot to like 50 feet, and a good 6 foot cable is LESS THAN TEN DOLLARS.

The site's gotten a decent amount of reviews, all of them 4 or 5 stars. I haven't ordered any cables yet, but I'm ordering a set of HDMI cables for my PS3 this weekend, and I'll post a review of Customer Service, Product Quality, Shipping Time, and maybe even some pictures for comparison.

Once again, let me stress this is no scam, it is a legitimate site as far as I know. I'm just trying to help people save money because the next cheapest HD cables I see online are $30-ish, and at stores, the cables are regularly $80 at least.

www.monoprice.com is another great place to buy HDMI cables.

Even though at my work I am supposed to recommend a $130 HDMI cable. :P

^^^^Surprise, I'm your boss and this was a sting operation.

$130 for a HDMI cable thats like £65, in the UK u can pick them up instores for like £15. And contrary to popular belief you will see almost no difference in a £10 hdmi cable to a £1000 cable because its a digital signal, not analogue.

see lol (it is a couple quid more in store but still proves my point lol)

I know dude, lol. Though they do make poor quality cable that can break easily; as I found out from true experience.

hmm well i spose its up the buyer, personally id just go for the cheap one and replace it with a better one if it breaks

^^^^Same here. Until I've gone through my tenth cheap cable, I won't even consider buying the expensive ones.

But there is a considerable difference if you wanted to know. Its all about the transfer rate. No hdmi cables are the same. And the longer they are they worse your Gb/s rate will be. Considerably. You might get 24 Gb/s on a foot cable but chop it down to 16 Gb/s on a 20 ft cable. Seriously

Quick question to all of you. Has anyone purchased the intercooler pack from Nyko with that plus the 9ft cable? I have it and I'm not getting a damn thing from that cable in my monitor. It supports HDCP, my converter has a liscence with producing studios, and everything is valid; true to work. But all balls when tested. I think this cable is crap. Please Quote me for some feedback.
