Erm - netflix is OK for the states, but there simply isn't anything approaching usable for the rest of the world. With expected price rises around the corner, it sounds like Netflix is having problems too...

I hope you're trying to be funny....

Even if you are, this sort of comment isn't helping - plenty of people are still paying way over the odds for 'premium' cables.

If you still want to blow a wad of cash on a premium cable, look out for things like:
- flexibility
- durabilty
- cable length

(and even then, most people don't care how flexible or durable a cable is)

The only thing you should not worry about is picture quality. HDMI cables carry digital signals. The signal either works or it doesn't (like a DVI/USB cable). Would you pay more for a USB cable to improve "color balance, black level" when transfering photo's from a camera?

Where's the option for 'I would buy one, but I don't live in the US, so I can't enjoy Netflix/Hulu/Other'

For the same reason that you would transfer it to dvd rather than cd - dvd media is so cheap, I don't bother with cdr's anymore. Yes, bd media is expensive atm, but that won't last forever...

Erm - of course bd decks will overtake soon...

How many people out there still need a dvd player? Most people already have 5 of the things and they're virtual free second hand.

Why won't GT just close shop and go to hell. This crap is dragging our beloved gaming industry into the gutter.
