But look around the net you can find Monster cable's for less. Or take advantage of the return policies at CC or BB. If you don't believe the cable is worth the money after trying it out, just return it with in 30 days even if its open.

I suggest POTC for your first Bluray.

Have fun and welcome to Bluray.

A digital signal works equally good whether you use a $10 hdmi cable or a $150 Monster hdmi cable. That's the beauty of a digital signal. If you're talking about runs of 20+ feet of hdmi cable, that's where you see a difference between cheap and expensive cables - but nearly everyone's buying a 6 foot cable, and the $10 cable is equally as good as the $150 cable.

Yepp, get a $20 hdmi cable from monoprice.com.

I recently swapped from a Samsung BDP1000 BR player to the PS3. PS3 blows it away in upconverting.
