The same people who are willing to pay MSRP for movies, are more than likely the ones who fall for the $34+ HDMI cable. Anyone who shops around would realize that when it comes to Blu-ray content, Amazon has the best prices. But, that instant gratification can cost consumers dearly. I've bought Blu-ray's at Best Buy, but only when I knew I was getting the upper hand. Specially when I got them for about $5 each. Very sweet indeed. That was a best buy, for me at least.
