The same over on this side of the pond, as far as rip offs go.

Alex I hope you didn't get an HDMI cord from walmart....any generic one works for the PS3 or 360. My HDMI cord was 99 cent plus $1 shipping from Hong Kong....have had it for two years now

Walmart ones are OUTRAGEOUS

i concur. they're ~ $35 with tax, at my local wally world. i wired up my dads big*** tv with a colored component set he had on a tiny not-HD tv. (what makes me laugh, is he never watches th HD channels to begin with)

I'll be honest, i'm a bit of a technology freak

My scart lead alone was £100 and is only 1M in length, I did notice the difference in quality though

You are correct Jeff...but I don't think a quality difference will occur between mine from Hong Kong (which are gold plated just like the wal-mart ones) and the wal-mart ones themselves

Jeff the quality difference may come from the length also. Could be wrong here but the less it travels...the better the look. Mine are exceptionally long

Did I offend you in some way..?

No, not offended in any way whatsover. Usually this type of response is long from me because if I am just short with the answer, people usually say

--he's just jealous he doesn't have 1080p
--he has no idea what he is talking about. 1080p owns 720p.

1080p does indeed own 720p

The difference is actually quite astounding on my Sony Bravia 40" LCD with Sky+HD, even though the maximum output from Sky is 1080i.

I also have a PS3 but at the moment it is nothing more than a glorified Blu-ray player, and a very fine one at that.

I tend to use my Xbox 360 for gaming, not that I am a very big gamer, I just can't resist Ultimate Mortal Kombat 3 and Street Fighter IV.

Eh I guess I am the only one here who doesn't really care whether its 1080p or 720p. I only use those RGA plugs or whatever they are (the Yellow, White, Red ones)

They're called RCA or composite...

Its a bummer for you...even using component (RGBRWY) would make a huge difference

Component, the Green Blue and Red ones? My TV has those and my 360 has those, but when I try to use it its like all trippy colors on my TV. :S

Really? Do you have a video cable for the XBOX that uses those AND is the TV on the input channel for Component?
