This seems a little pricey:

You're obviously not used to shopping at Best Buy.

Haha whata joke that card should be at least $600 at newegg.com or a little less.

Naw, the BB one comes with a waterblock already installed. That's why Newegg is $500 less

The bestbuy card has been secretly optimized by the Geek Squad, Hence the higher price....

I bought mine for $530 back in July... Bestbuy cracks me up.. They take up the profit and don't even have the support ppl who know what they're talking about. The most affordable 3ft. HDMI cable is $50 there, I am not paying that.

Joe Yuppie who goes in to buy a TV doesn't know about monoprice, and just wants it to work today. Personally I don't even know where I'd go for a cheap HDMI cable if I wanted one tonight. Maybe Cables and Connectors, but odds are they charge just as much.. I see a $20 one on Target's website, who knows if they have it in stores..

I bought the ones at Target for $25-30 after tax. Work just fine. Can get the same quality cables for 50% of that online (amazon.com even sells cheap cables). As a former Best Buy employee let me just say that MOST of their profit is in accessories and services. markup on gear is low to get you in the door, but you won't be leaving (if they have anything to say about it) with only one item in your cart.

I've managed to talk a BB shift manager into a near-cost price on a TV if I agreed to purchase the extended warranty. I'd never do it again (the warranties are, well, useless), but the price was right on that day.

I still think Monoprice has them beat on price, I have had only good experiences with ordering from Monoprice as well. Will be interested to hear any feedback if anyone orders from firefold.
