Oh. Audio / video cable. I saw the headline and was thinking "how is Amazon going to compete against Comcast or Cox?"

Very cool!


Then again, will they be as cheap as cables to go, or mono something?

agreed - until they start hitting monoprice prices, there's really no point.

I know this site pushes amazon, but uhhh -- these prices aren't fantastic. And did I read that correctly? $40 "high-performance" cable at the end of an hdmi discussion?

Unless the little blurb was written semi-poorly, amazon is going to dupe customers into "high performance" hdmi cables for $40?

What a sham

Yep, can't wait to see what they state the difference is between the lower priced cable and the "high-performance" version.
