While these new cables are expensive, they are MUCH more reliable than the old ones. We have had a few instances of no sound since the change (but it is much less frequent now) and the issue can now be solved by simply power cycling the TV (which is quicker and leaves the PS3 preferences intact).
So, yes, they are expensive, but they have solved a technical headache, and are a pretty small price compared to the TV and gaming system really, and is well worth it if it makes them work appropriately.
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.
First, how long are the cables? The HDMI and USB cables are both 10 ft. long. That's great for the USB, but a lot of excess length for the HDMI that must be rolled up and hidden behind your equipment.
Second, why do they cost so much and are they worth the price? These are high quality flexible cables with fabric covering that immediately unroll into a straight line and have no lasting stiff kinks like all the other plastic covered cables I have. That definitely makes them a pleasure to use and worth their cost to me. The output on any AV system is no better than its weakest link. It makes no sense to save a few bucks on a longterm purchase like cables that are relatively inexpensive, yet vital parts of my $5,000 AV system. You can buy these cables knowing that you are getting the best quality while also avoiding the irritation of needing to unravel them each time you use your PS3. I'm glad I bit the bullet and bought them up front so I have one less thing in life to second guess or buy again...
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.
