my dvd recorder has a HDMI outlet, so I figure I try to find a cable this boxing day.

almost $100 cad for a 3 foot cable???:omg: :omg:

don't need one that badly

You can get them a lot cheaper. DELL is selling some during their boxing week sale at Dell.ca. Since the warehouse is in Richmond, you might get them as soon as...tomorrow? ;)

Yah just gotta know where to look.

I've used "Wire Communications" out of Scottsdale,Az for a year or so now. Good products, LOW prices, good customer service, quick shipping.

I bought some 2200 Mhz digital sattelite cables from them last summer just before we upgraded our DTV so we could get HD local channels without the 'on air' antenna. They were REALLY nice, low cost cables.

Now, if you want low cost AUDIO cables, you should check out what used to be "CMT Trading" and is now "Internet Sound Solutions". A really good quality company with great customer service, with great products and quick shipping.

I purchased 500 ft of 12 gauge speaker wire for my upstairs HT. REALLY nice stuff for WAY cheap. $60 for 500 ft in two 250 ft rolls. Made a HUGE difference in how my speakers sounded. Plus I have to turn my sound levels down for the same amount of volume, so I'm not overworking my Sony STR-DA9000ES amp or risk blowing my 9 Sony SSK90ED speakers.
