"As soon as you start thinking it would be kinda cool to have a HDTV you should go to
monoprice.com and buy a HDMI cable."
Otherwise you'll end up paying $60 for the cheapest 6ft HDMI cable at Best Buy. Rather than the $10 after shipping for a 6ft one from monoprice.
When you've just purchased a TV you're weak and woozy from allowing that much money to flow out of your bank account. You've just made a major purchase and had to choose from hundreds of televisions. You might have to justify this extravagant purchase to a loved one. In the meantime you've got your PS3 in the cart and 5 blu-ray discs. You better hope to god that you don't drop in a $60 fucking cable. I can forgive the 10-20% markup on blu-ray discs. But I just can't forgive the 1200% markup on a cable.
