    The price fluctuates all the time and the shipping changes along with it, but it always equals shipping + price around 4$.

    Anyway, i'm pretty sure that would work, it's just an HDMI cable, and you would only be losing 4$ if it eventually wears out on you.

    there's no real difference between the really expensive HDMI cables. all produces similar results. that price is ok since the shipping will be a few dollars.

    there are deals for (2 or 3) 6'-10' HDMI cables all the time on slickdeals.net. they can be had for around 5 bucks shipped.

    At Fry's today, you can get a 10-foot gold-plated HDMI cable for $1.99 before tax. It's not that spectacular of a deal, unless you add it to some other order and get free shipping.
