Playstation 3 Monster GameLink HDMI Cable

The PLAYSTATION 3 isn't just another game console, it's a state-of-the-art entertainment platform. It's the only system for experiencing PS3 games and Blu-ray Disc Movies at resolutions as high as 1080p with explosive 7.1 surround sound. But maximizing your PS3's 3.2 GHz Cell Processor requires an extra high-bandwidth connection. It's here: GameLink HDMI for true high-definition video and surround sound in one easy cable.

While it is true monster builds a good qualitly product. It is way overpriced. I just bought a phillips high speed cable with the 24k gold and pure copper insides with metal shielding. I was not going for anything but a better shielded cable to reduce noise over the really old cheap first generation cable I had. My old cable was dropping out too much on my ps3. The new cable cut the picture noise by half. I tried one of these monster cables a friend had too and we found the phillips to match it in terms of noise reduction and qualtiy of signal. I would reccomend getting a decent copper cable with the gold connectors. Just don't need any monster unless you need to spend more to feel good. Phillips is a good cable, I don't care what anyone says the connectors were good quality and fit nice and snug on my ps3 and tv. No drop out problems anymore either. Just saying monster is very nice just you can get a very simmilar product for quite a bit less. I find monster's are overkill. I do love their surge protectors though. They are the only monster I will shell out the extra cash for anymore.

Is there REALLY anything else to say here... If your not using monster cable equipment already than you better crawl out from whatever rock your under ask somebody. Simply the best!

People are forgetting one crucial fact. It can be argued all day whether or not the quality/build of the cable affects signal quality (and it very likely doesn't in this case), but nobody cares to mention that this cable "officially made for the Playstation 3" is still just an HDMI cable. Never buy game cables from Monster unless the console connecting end is specialized. In this case, the said "game" cable is still just HDMI on both ends. If you don't like Monster cable, don't buy it. If you swear by Monster cable, it still makes no sense to buy this particular cable when you've got the regular Monster HDMI400 cables selling on ebay for $10.00 brand new. There is no reason to buy such an expensive cable in this case.

A friend of mine works at a large electronics retailer, and has a love-affair with Monster cables. In all fairness he praises their power filters and their surge protectors more than their actual cables--however when he purchased a new Blu-Ray player he got this Monster HDMI cable "to make the most of HD." I couldn't help but do a switcharoo and give him my $6 eBay HDMI and borrow his Monster. I was unable to notice any difference, and waited to see if he would. The night before I made the swap he was showing of Ratatouille almost frame-by-frame, and the next day he was doing it again--oblivious to the swap. After giving him back his cable (and watching him swap the two back and forth looking for any difference) he made the decision to return the Monster (and ordered a $6 eBay cable). To clarify, there was absolutely no noticeable benefit for paying 1000% the price.

Overpriced for what you get. No need to pay Monster prices for a digital cable. Sony recommends using a cable rated for HDMI 1.3 to get the full benefit of Blu-Ray playback, and Amazon offers one for just 30% of the Monster price (see Cables Unlimited Premium 2 Meter Version 1.3 HDMI Home Theater Cable (PCM229502M)). Same results, and save yourself a lot of $$.
