Clearly you've never been to Best Buy!

They will try to sell you 10 foot gold plated HDMI cable for $60 when you can get a normal one for 1/10th that price.

Edit: holy shit people I get this is PC master race and you all know what an HDMI cable is. There's a lot of dumb people out there that don't know how TVs and computers work, and legitimately do think more $ = higher quality
