Default Cheap HDMI in local B&M? Advice Please

I flipped my room 180 degrees and as a result, my TV and components are now reversed - making my HDMI from TV to PS3 just a bit too short.
Would like to solve this quickly. Anyone suggest a good local place to buy a cheap HDMI cable? Raleigh NC - so anything National (or local) will do.

Yes mail order is probably the best answer, but I'm impatient

Wal-mart

They have RCA and Philips which are inexpensive. And you can probably go right now to get it since I think most are open 24 hours.

I have had both the Philips and an RCA from Wal-Mart and never had any problems with them.

If you plug them in and leave them, they should almost never go bad. If you move stuff around and unplug them a lot, then yes, maybe they may not have the life of a Monoprice or Blue Jeans HDMI cable.

I also had to replace the Phillips brand from Walmart after a year, save your $$ and order it online (order extra too for what you save).

What a silly response.

There are new protocols that have been introduced, but HDMI is currently still the standard and is hardly 'dead'. This also doesn't really matter since his current devices are using HDMI, he will need to use HDMI to hook them up.

As the OP said, mail order will definitely be the cheapest, but the B&M suggestions that have been mentioned are probably your best bet for local prices.
