Xbox 360 HDMI cable?
-
Is the Microsoft marketed Xbox 360 cable really any different from the standard HDMI cable? Is there any reason that I need to get the Microsoft cable or can I just get the standard ($3) cable. For the record, I'm thinking about the newest generation of Xbox 360, the 4gb model.

Answer:
You can just get the standard cable, there is no real difference between the http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B0002L5R78 and http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQuest+-+Coffee+6.6%27+HDMI+Cable+-+Brown/Black/1267646.p?id=1218245470758&skuId=1267646&st=hdmi&cp=1&lp=8 (make sure you read the reviews on that one). With digital-signals (unlike analog), lower-quality signals give you the same quality audio/video. HDMI cables only carry digital signals, so using ultra-high quality titanium-shielded solid-gold cables is no longer necessary to get good-quality audio/video.

http://rads.stackoverflow.com/amzn/click/B001S5CCF2 to plug into the back of your 360. This dongle has both analog and optical (digital) TOSLINK connectors on it so you can hook your 360 up to a surround sound system via one of those connections if your receiver doesn't support audio via HDMI (as mine doesn't :( boo). Outside of that, any HDMI cable will work. Go cheap if you can. ;)

Just to confirm, you can use any HDMI cable. I use one from Monoprice.com http://www.monoprice.com/products/subdepartment.asp?c_id=102&cp_id=10240 that I got for $2-ish. Cables are where many retailers make money, just like with $50 printer ink cartridges and $2.50 sodas at restaurants. I recommend you never buy any sort of cable at a big-box store. Monoprice and other online stores have just about any cable you could want for less than $3. When I bought my last TV, the store wanted to sell me 6' HDMI cables for forty dollars each... unbelievable!
