OMG, Monster Cable is the biggest rip. I asked a Best Buy employee why they were so expensive and he said, "They cost a lot of money. Stuff that costs of lot of money is better.".

The United Audio salesman had a little better explanation, "They don't call themselves 'Monster' for nothing. They pack very scary performance.".

Ooooooh, I better go out and buy these.

The two biggest reasons to get these (if your equipment warrents cables of this quality) is the length of the cables (10ft) and the fact that its a straight shot from the xbox to your tv and receiver.

Halo sounds fantastic in DD 5.1 and looks great in 480p. And its great to see almost the entire field at once in Madden.

If you have a 32" or smaller TV, and you don't have a high end home theater system, don't bother. It takes very sensitive audio equipment to show the differences from cable to cable, and a large video display to show any differences as well (unless you are displaying in 480p on a 32" WEGA or something)
