Well, the cameras went fast. That's a relief.

Awesome write-up.

It's a trap! The pic looks like mini-HDMI to HDMI, but I don't think it is. I need one of those for my tablet.

What would I use these things for?

well are they 1.3 or 1.4?

Why, Woot, do we always have all these HDMI cables shoved down our throats? There are all sorts of other kinds of cables in this world. I, for one, could really use an optical cable longer than 2'8" - the one that the jerk at Best Buy told me was 3 feet long is 3 inches too short.
How about RCA or component cables? How about cable TV? How about cable ties and a cable tying kit? Fiber optic cables? Ethernet cables? Why always HDMI? WHY!!

It's the 3d effect of the photo. The top cable is "coming out at you" making it look larger because it is closer. It appears to be a standard HDMI cable to me.

Because it's hip and cool that's why!

Per the title...

Xtreme Cables v1.4 6-Foot HDMI Cable - 2 Pack

Bahh.. Lamee...

I'm confused. The picture shows HDMI to HDMI mini, but there is no mention of this in the write-up.

Does anyone have these? Are they any good?

Probably because hdmi cables in the stores are the biggest rip-off - you would be hard pressed to find even a cheap cable at a store for under $20, so I have no problem with this being readily available on the internet - I don't feel like being taken to the cleaners if I need an HDMI cable right away! Already ordered 2 the other day when they were on here, don't really need them right now but this is too good of a deal to pass up and have a few spares laying around!

Monoprice.com is a better deal!!!

These are regular HDMI cables. Ignore the strange picture. The title says 1.4 but the technical specs say it's 1.3b...no real difference that I know of.

cheaper on amazon?

6 Ft. HDMI Cable

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO stop it nOOOO

Do
not
want



Oh i admit im thinking about it, i mean you can never have too many hdmi cables

Aw crap. Looks like these may take a while.

I only want a single cable .. would this be 1/2 price then????

From my experience, optical audio cables like TOSlink are just as bad.

Monoprice has v1.3 cables for less, but the 1.4 cables (6 foot High Speed HDMI Cable w/ Ethernet) are about the same.

There is no speed difference between 1.3b and 1.4.

HDMI 1.4 on Wikipedia

Okay, in for one. Or would that be 2 since they come in a pair....hmmm. Conundrum!

And now I'm going to take a PS3 break.

That item does not specify if it is a 1.3 or 1.4 cable, but if you don't need HDMI Ethernet then it's the same to you (at least for now, in the future who knows).

Isn't PSN still down?

These things are gold plated. That's got to be $5 worth of gold...

My couch doesn't rock, but it does recline.

At $1500/oz what would happen if you bought out the whole friggin lot of 'em? If you melt the things down for the gold...would we be on to something?

i think that is a good idea. must get permission from my CFO

You know, I like my women like I like these Xtreme HDMI cables - twist-tied.

So tempting.... I already have too many HDMI cables, but this is a GREAT price......
