I went with radio shack brand, i believe it is only 6 or 10 feet, and it still cost my $50 bucks.
On top of that i had problems with the HDMI cable, so i just grabbed my cheapy composite cables(red, white and yellow), and use those. They look good enough.

That's a good talking point, HDMI cables. I hope everyone that has any use for one knows to never, EVER buy one from local retailers. You can buy them online from just about anywhere for 15 bucks or less. You can get them on ebay for 5 bucks. They are freaking digital cables, quality does not matter. Just buy one. Anything more than 20 bucks is nothing short of a scam.
Do a google search for hdmi cables, it's a pretty hot discussion. Or at least it has been in the past.
