Deal: Warhawk for $10, cables for cheap

Yes. Just get the cheap ones.

Better...'cause you still have $295 in your pocket.

What i heard is the quality of the cable itself is one difference, and the size of your screen, if you got like 60" and up you should probably spend a little more....

@KGG, it's digital, it's either there or it's not. Any hdmi will work as well as the next. Don't believe the hype, yo!

if the cable is certified HDMI 1.3a - 1.3c, it will show the same as a $300 cable don't fall for the hype

Actually, expensive HDMI cables can make a difference, but only over long distances, because the longer the cable, the more prone to interferance, so high quality cable would allow

(oops, accidentally added the comment too early *blush* is there any way to delete/edit your own comments?) Anyway, expensive HDMI cables can make a difference, but only over long distances. The longer the cable, the more prone to interferance, and the poorer quality the cable, generally the more prone to interferance, so high quality cable would allow longer distances before the interferance starts breaking up the picture.

@Alphathon: Don't confuse people. Nobody has 100' HDMI cable runs and if they do they're not asking on forums, they're asking their A/V installer.

Bottom line, no BS, common knowledge: cheap HDMI cables are IDENTICAL to expensive ones. Digital cables don't have to be special like analog cables.

As an electronic engineer, the quality of the cable DOES make a difference.

The signal isn't transmitted through the cable like most people think. It's actually the electric field that surrounds the cable that carries the message. This means it can be screwed up by something called 'stray capacitance' from other electronic devices. This happens most at the interface between the cable and socket. More expensive cables protect against this by localising the electric field.

Also, yes, the thing is digital. That doesn't mean it isn't analogue. Everything is analogue underneath. Digital pulses are made of a series of superposed analogue signals. Look up something called the "Fourier transform" and you might understand what a spectrum is. Distortion in some frequency components could leave the bit distorted down to the level where it is not detected.

"Bundle"

One word: HellYeaItIsSucka!

Definitely. There are still thousands playing it daily and the expansion packs have kept it fresh. Nothing rules harder than flying in a jet pack and owning a Warhawk headed for you with a rocket launcher.

This for $10 is a steal, and $10 for Ridge Racer isn't too bad either, I really enjoyed that game at launch. It's a nice arcadey racer.

Yeah warhawk is showing as 29.99 for me :(
