   I was having real trouble finding an HDMI cable, or whatever they're   
   called, to hook up my PS3 to my tv set. The cheapest I could find was a   
   $50 Electrohome cable, but the salesman said they had trouble hooking   
   those up to some tv sets. I settled on an $80 Monster Cable. For $30,   
   did I buy peace of mind, or was I ripped off?
