ok i now finally buy into the whole hd tv stuff so i want a lead for my xbox :d

my question is is there going to be any real vissable diffrence between a 2 or 3 quid cable compared to the stupidly expensive ones you see knocking about for over 20/30 quid :wtf:

The only things to look for in an HDMI cable are build quality (i.e the cable isn't going to fall apart) and that you've got the right spec for the kit you're using. i.e 1.4 for Blu-ray.

Bit different from the old analogue days where heavy oxygen free and gold contact cable was worth a little bit over cheapy cables. As HDMI is digital with error correction it makes zero difference as long as you physically have a connection between your kit.

Its digital, if you get signal through it then its fine.
