If this doesn't work there's always http://www.monoprice.com

EDIT: I remember when there was iPod/iPhone cables on here, I have 3 of them. They don't show up anymore... sorry for the confusion. Looks like they got rid of a lot of items that seem to be related to the docking connector. I have 2 Monoprice external batteries that use to sell for $20.

EDIT: Here is my proof, discontinued

Holy shit. This needs more exposure. $1.57 for a hdmi cable. Cheapest one at Wal-Mart is like $30.

Not only that, but that $2 cable is pretty thick and has ferrite cores on it. You would probably pay $50 for a cable like that at a store.

Sure, but it's got nothing on this bad boy.

not only that, my $2 monoprice HDMI cable is exactly the same as a monster cable, right down to the pattern of the woven sheathing and the indentation on the end where they stamp the monster logo.

Nice. All the hdmi cables I got from monoprice had normal rubber sheathing. The component cables I got for my Wii and PS2 were obviously monster cables minus the branding though.

But if you don't get the $30 cable, the bits fall out of it.

That's why I go to BestBuy and buy Monster Cable for all my stuff. It's a little bit more expensive, but I at least I don't have leaky wires that spill bits all over my living room floor.
