Thank you for your opinion, I decide not to buy now! Save more money. Actually,I am just using the 2 bucks Hdmi cable from newegg. It is working fine right now. But I'm just curious whether I need to buy a new one for insurance

True, but i think the cable Strell linked should be enough, IIRC.

I've got a 3D TV and I can't tell a difference regardless of the "quality" of the cables. I would pay for disk protection when I buy a game before I paid more for a hdmi cable if you know what I mean.

I am in for

- bulletstorm
- wolfenstein
- rage
- crysis 2
- rayman origins
- singularity

I might snag sorcery but not sure.

I have a Samsung 3D tv and HDMI 1.4 cuts down on some of the ghosting vs. HDMI 1.3 IMO

Is that the full, finalized list?

Because the TIV for Fallout: New Vegas Ultimate Edition just got nuked to $1..

/edit: Oh, when you click the link, it takes you to a regular copy of New Vegas

That was a lot of work you did with that list, I wanted to make sure you had your correct due for it.

I'd defer to Monoprice.com cables every time. I've had them for years and never had any issues with any of them. My 360 and PS3 have used Monoprice cables for multiple years without any issue as well.

I've see that cabled linked above on Amazon and it seems to be a reasonable cable with the good reviews it has. I'd always stick to Monoprice every time, though.

Getting:

Rayman Origins
Rhythm Heaven Fever
10 bucks back on my driver

Aye, I default to them for almost every cable I need. And they've recently started adding other things of interest, like mechanical keyboards and surround sound systems.

Thin HDMI cables became a necessity due to some routing issues I've got in my current setup, which is the only reason I went with the link at Amazon. You can be sure I checked Monoprice first to see if they had an equivalent.

Is the link not working for anyone else? Wanted to check the list but I just get a "Page not found."

Thank you,then I buy a cheap cable in monoprice

I am sure this has been answered many times. However, after much research I haven't found it.

So if I order two games ($30 and $35) for in store pick up and they are matched down on Sunday when I pick them up, will I qualify for the extra $10 on $50 purchases? Or does it have to be over $50 when you pick it up? If so, I could always order, go pick it up today, then price match them on Sunday.

mod or midnight metal: please add a "This Link Will Not Be Live Until Sunday" next to link in OP.

Thanks

Or to do that would there need to be an actual in stock inFAMOUS in store to do the PM? I'm RZ/GCU Premier Silver if that makes any difference..

You bet. You have 30 days to bring in a receipt and adjust the price if you are not silver, 60 days if you are. So if they sold Infamous for even cheaper a month from now, you could bring back the same receipt and get more money back. Whether it is in stock doesn't make a difference.

Nice! Hopefully I can snag the 8 games I want

I don't really like having GameStop credit because of their prices and no price matching policy. Thanks for the response! I shall trade-in both games on the 12th and then hopefully get GT5 XL in store.

Awesome! I may just have to go do that tonight then.
Seeing as how inFAMOUS is an older PS3 title, I bet copies will be there, but I don't wanna risk it. I'll just buy now using my GC's, then PM on Sunday, that way I'm guaranteed a copy.

Unfortunately, i just bought dead rising off of the marketplace. For anyone wondering, they seemed to have fixed a lot of the bugs in Off The Record. In dead rising 2, i couldn't even save the game without my co-op partner getting kicked out.

Same thing happened to me. I loved DR1 and my friend was also a huge fan. The saving issue was a huge pain and we barely played the first few hours. It was too bad.

YW! No, it's not in the OP.
