any that already uses a HDMI with their 360:
Does the sound cut out once in a while when you are playing games?
or while streaming video from your PC to the Xbox?
I can switch the channel back and forth to get the sound back, it doesnt happen often only once in a while
I also seen it happen on my buddy's TV as well, I tried different HDMI cables with same result

That happened to me once... Once in about 200 hours of game play.

Hey guys,
quick question. I just bought a 360 several days ago and am currently waiting for it to be delivered. I also bought one of these cables last night without thinking to much about it. Are these cables safe to use with the 360 even though they are not 1.3a and HDMI certified? Also am I going to be force to break open the casing on my component cables to use these cables? I hope these are not silly questions. Normally I would just experiment, but as both items are tied up in the mail system I can't. Thanks in advance for any help.

[quote name='J7.']Depends on whether you want a cable that is more compatible with future features or spend about a $1 less on the one that is not 1.3a. Here is info on what 1.3a does for you:
http://www.hdmi.org/press/pr/pr_20060622.aspx
The HDMI 1.3 specification more than doubles HDMI’s bandwidth and adds support for Deep Color™ technology, a broader color space, new digital audio formats, automatic audio/video synching capability (“lip sync”), and an optional smaller connector for use with personal photo and video devices. The update reflects the determination of the HDMI founders to ensure HDMI continues evolving ahead of future consumer demands.[/QUOTE]
Thanks for the clear cut secision, J7, I ordered one.

If someone is already ordering something from Amazon, they're better off ordering their HDMI cable from Amazon too.

They are safe to use even if they are not 1.3a, I don't know what HDMI certified has to do with being safe for 360 though. I don't think you need to break the casing on your component cables unless you plan on using optical audio through them, but that's just my best guess.

That's WAY too much for a 4 foot HDMI cable. Trust, I don't what you've "heard" about people getting faulty cheap ones, but they're just as good as that Monster one you're looking at for a fraction of the price. I've been using $5 ones I bought from monoprice for several years now with NO problems.
You're throwing money away paying that much for one.

[quote name='Smallville123']Unfortunately they still fool people into buying there 100 dollar cables.[/quote]
About a month before Circuit City announced the closings, I was behind a guy at the register who has just paid including tax $205 for a Monster 20ft HDMI cable. I couldn't believe my eyes. I was going to say something to the guy but figured it was best to mind my business!

[quote name='Magic24']its not like its the 100 dollar cables. anyway what do u think of it besides the price ??[/quote]
I think it's no better than the much cheaper alternatives. An HDMI cable is an HDMI cable, your picture will look the same whether you buy that one or another.
