Its difficult to wax poetic about a cable - if it works well you should never even notice that its there.

And I want to be careful here not to wade into a discussion of how much a cable is worth, especially when talking about digital signals that are either there, or not.

I pondered the question of $3 or $300 cables for a long while, and chose to hedge my bets by buying this one for the following reasons:

a) Its pricing places it right in the middle of the pack.
b) you can see just by looking at it why it might merit this price.
c) It would be madness for SCEA to sell a product as graphically intense as the PS3 and hobble it with poor quality cables. (These cables are made by SCEA too.)

So what do I get? I get extremely high cable construction quality, and a set of extra long cables. The 10-foot USB cable length is a boon since it lets me position myself comfortably away from the monitor.

The cable jacket is a very flexible cloth like material that makes it look like this cable will last forever, no matter how tightly I squeeze it through the openings in my entertainment center. The ends fit well into my HDMI connectors and are supposed to be gold plated.

All I care about now, is that the images are wonderfully clear ... and I can safely go back to ignoring cables.

Yes yes, I know, as long as you're getting a decent quality HDMI 1.3a cable it doesn't make any difference what you get. Still, this is far from the most overpriced cable around, and it is nice.

What I really love about it is the USB cable it includes. As others have mentioned, the material it's made out of is great (the HDMI cable is the same way, but that's less relevant since it's behind your TV and you'd hardly ever move it). It's almost like a cloth or something-I've never seen a cable built like this before. It doesn't seem to "curl" up like most cables do.

I'd prefer the PS3 just use wired controllers, but that cable is a decent compromise. Frankly I wish it had been included with the PS3... It's also 10 feet long which is great.

I actually found a use for the short USB cable included with the PS3-I have my PS2/PS1 memory card adapter hooked to it, since that only needs to sit next to the system itself.

Note that these nifty USB cables are also sold in a separate 2 pack for slightly less. I ended up buying those too so I can hook up multiple controllers.

1.0 out of 5 stars This HDMI wire is fine. But Read before you purchase.., April 19, 2010

I can honestly tell you that as long as the HDMI wire you buy is properly shielded, 1080p certified,ect.. it doesnt make a difference if it costs 5 bucks or 100(Im not saying go by the cheapest possible wire,Im stating that labeling "for use with PS3" is a sales ploy in the sense that any decent HDMI wire can b successfully used with a PS3. If you read the reviews for some of the cheaper wires & make sure that they certify them to do what u need them to(whether it be bluray or video game console ANY GOOD HDMI WIRE WILL SUFFICE AS LONG AS ITS SHIELDED & 1080p CERTIFIED!), u will save a bundle.. I have a monster wire that normally runs 100 bucks & I have bought several different cheaper brands commonly found on amazon in the 5 to 7 dollar range, there was no difference in picture or sound(and I have a high end receiver so if there was any benefit to paying more for HDMI wires I would, being that I am willing to overspend when theres a benefit to it.( I tried all combinations of wires from Verizon HD box, Bluray player, PS3 ect...All to my receiver then to my 50" Samsung LCD, so any difference to discern would be noted) Bottom line, shop around read the reviews, and never believe anything that comes out of a salesmans mouth!
