Molotov

As we are all very tech savvy people here this will not come as a surprise and we will find it funny... RIGHT...

The worlds most expensive pile of shit: http://www.bestbuy.com/site/AudioQuest+ ... 8324437192

Yes, that is a 1 meter long HDMI cable for the cost of a New 42" 3D TV, a PS3 to play your Blu-Rays (and games) and a top quality 1 meter HDMI cable from your local retailer...

For a good laugh, check out the reviews =).

Oh FFS.

Up there with the silver speaker cable at $300 a meter and the wooden amplifier volume knob ("for a warmer tone!") at $400.

People don't seem to get that with digital cables, if you're getting a signal, and it's all there (no tearing or blocky bits), then that's it - that's as good as it gets. Your 1s and 0s can be carried through a $10 cable (gross profit: $8) or through a $1000 cable (gross profit: $980) and they are the exact same identical 1s and 0s.

On the other hand, if you need this:

HD polyethylene composition
Optimized to ensure critical signal-pair geometry.

Then what options do you have?

I scrolled down to "What's included", in the hopes that it would include a TV or laptop or something. No dice.

For bonus points, under "Suggested accessories", the sole item is a 12 foot long HDMI cable for 15 bucks.

3.5 times the length, 1/73rd the price. An excellent accessory to have around in case your thousand dollar cable is being repaired under its 5 year warranty.

Don't despair at the near perfect reviews from 100 customers - it looks mostly like trolls, which restores some of my faith in humanity.
