is there really any reason to buy a £80 hdmi cable over a £9 cable? I watched the gadget show and they said there was no difference in the cables. I was in a highstreet store yesterday and they had 3 different cables ranging from £49 - £80 each had a different speed rating up to 1000mhz, is this just a marketing ploy?
 
Ok, well I kinda expected this kind of discussion and its been interesting reading the replies. I have since bought several cheap £4.99 cables and the Blu-ray player looks amazing, so then I hooked up a HDMI multi switch (so I can plug in SKY HD, Blu-Ray and 360) and was expecting a slight deterioration in image due to the box, but theres no difference... yippee
