Its difficult to wax poetic about a cable – if it works well you should never even notice that its there.
And I want to be careful here not to wade into a discussion of how much a cable is worth, especially when talking about digital signals that are either there, or not.
I pondered the question of $3 or $300 cables for a long while, and chose to hedge my bets by buying this one for the following reasons:
a) Its pricing places it right in the middle of the pack.
b) you can see just by looking at it why it might merit this price.
c) It would be madness for SCEA to sell a product as graphically intense as the PS3 and hobble it with poor quality cables. (These cables are made by SCEA too.)
So what do I get? I get extremely high cable construction quality, and a set of extra long cables. The 10-foot USB cable length is a boon since it lets me position myself comfortably away from the monitor.
The cable jacket is a very flexible cloth like material that makes it look like this cable will last forever, no matter how tightly I squeeze it through the openings in my entertainment center. The ends fit well into my HDMI connectors and are supposed to be gold plated.
All I care about now, is that the images are wonderfully clear … and I can safely go back to ignoring cables.

The One to Get
You’ll know your money was not wasted at the moment you put your hands on it and plug it in.
About the USB cable, it’s long enough for me to charge my dualshock3…
I read all the review on HDMI cables at Amazon.com and settled for the Sony brand. I’ve always liked Sony products and was not disappointed in what I got. It has a wire loom-like covering and just shows quality all around. Just for a few bucks more I would settle for this product again. I use it for my Viewsonic VX2835 HD connection to a PS3.
Yes yes, I know, as long as you’re getting a decent quality HDMI 1.3a cable it doesn’t make any difference what you get. Still, this is far from the most overpriced cable around, and it is nice.
What I really love about it is the USB cable it includes. As others have mentioned, the material it’s made out of is great (the HDMI cable is the same way, but that’s less relevant since it’s behind your TV and you’d hardly ever move it). It’s almost like a cloth or something-I’ve never seen a cable built like this before. It doesn’t seem to “curl” up like most cables do.
I’d prefer the PS3 just use wired controllers, but that cable is a decent compromise. Frankly I wish it had been included with the PS3… It’s also 10 feet long which is great.
I actually found a use for the short USB cable included with the PS3-I have my PS2/PS1 memory card adapter hooked to it, since that only needs to sit next to the system itself.
Note that these nifty USB cables are also sold in a separate 2 pack for slightly less. I ended up buying those too so I can hook up multiple controllers.

Solved some of my technical problems
Yes, this is a bit expensive for cables, but I feel that the problems they have solved for me has been worth it. I have a PS3 and a Sony Bravia Z series TV.

Unecessary
Don’t need to buy this cable. Any HDMI cable will work. You can find other cables that work just as well for 1/4 the price this costs.
