So does it matter which kind i get? There are cables for like $5 on amazon.com and then on circuitcity.com its $50

I got mine on ebay for a penny and they work great

If you need a standard short cable (about 3 meters) then you will be okay with any reasonable cable. However, just check for the construction quality.

It has been proven on sites like Engadget and Gizmodo, that Monster cables do work better......but it is only at longer legnths. Any 1.3 HDMI cable should work, look at construction quality and for the cables to have HDMI printed or stamped somewhere on them.
