I like how they jacked up the price to ~$15. Definitely playing the supply and demand card here. WHEN ARE YOU RESTOCKING IT, AMAZON?!?!?
632604
I believe croooow meant "why is the 3m version less expensive than the 2m version".... Well, I'm going to guess that it's related to the 0 stock on the 3m version!
632605
I paid $5.50 for this cable two weeks ago. The price hike to $19 is unbelievable.
632606
That is weird, I posted a similar message on the 3 meter product page, I thought I double checked to make sure I didn't reverse it, but I guess I did not.
632607
Yes, how dare Amazon! Utilizing the founding principle of our economy! The nerve!!Oh wait, the price hike is over... What a terrible ordeal for a price hike to last two weeks while an item is out of stock. BTW, the price decrease just so happened to coincide with Amazon shipping the cables out again. What a coincidence.And if you want to complain and moan about Amazon's pricing, purchase one of the other cables through one of the other companies. I'm sure Amazon won't mind losing a few whiny customers.
632608
Yeah, what's with the price hike? These were like $6 or $7 a week ago. Amazon's pricing sucks.

It probably doesn't have anything to do with the product itself. I believe Amazon prices tend to fluctuate day to day, depending on inventory levels. My guess is there are just more of the 1-packs in stock right now, so the prices are set to incentivize customers to purchase that pack size instead of the 2-pack.

PC_XS is very much correct and there are easy adapters such as this AmazonBasics HDMI to DVI Adapter Cable. You can find others for a few dollars cheaper but AmazonBasics offers a 1 year warranty, so I opted for this instead.

The price is not amazons. (you can see the store name above the add it to cart button).Amazon allows private sellers to list on there, whether it is a store or just someone selling it from home. Amazons fees for listing a product are so high, that's why i think they listed it for so much. I would check on ebay, they are selling for $49.99 on there right now.

I ordered one with a cable from Amazon. Cost about $8 and the cable a few more. Works great.

Yeah Damon, I think and feel the same way as you do. I had exactly the same untimely response as you did! What a joke GE Money Bank is!!! But, I still thought the 31% off the MSRP of $3500 was a killer offer I couldn't refuse! Now, I see that Samsung has reduced the MSRP to $3200, w/Amazon currently selling at 22% off ~ still not as hot a deal, but pretty darn good- I feel that, that price will probably drop another 4-7% over the next month though! So, why not take the plunge then, and just plop it on another card?

You will want to buy an hdmi cable. You can get it for about $1.98 on Amazon if you search. Believe it or not, because HDMI is a standard, all HDMI cables whether they cost $100 or $2 perform equally well.

Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf? And Amazon will match it -- right after chickens grow lips, pigs fly, hell freezes over...well, you get the point. ;) No reason for Amazon to drop the price when it's holding its value at almost $400. Since the Transformer 2 is listed at $499 (32GB) and $599 (64GB) I also don't see a dent in the T1 price anytime soon. Even the Slider in the upper $400s hasn't hurt the T1. Maybe after BF...EDIT: Sorry, let me be clear...I'm definitely ROOTING for a BF sale or a price drop. I just don't see it happening for a while. -Matt Guys, if it's a loss-leader...do you really want to fight the crowds for the 4 units they'll have on the shelf?

Agree on that. I ordered 2 colored, cert Cat2 cables for less than $5 each, plus USPS shipping. Rated for the highest speeds specified for 1.3 HDMI. Cables are shipped out of southern CA.

Mine did not come with an HDMI cable. In the box was a special cable that plugs into the camera and provides the standard red, white & yellow plugs so that you can plug it into pretty much any TV or video recorder (tape or DVD). I have never used that. In my opinion it is kind of silly to sell an HD camera and then provide an SD video adapter. By the way if you need an HDMI cable, buy the AmazonBasics High Speed HDMI cable. I have 4 of these and they are really good and a great price. Please note: the HDMI port on the camera is a mini-HDMI, so you need an adapter to make a regular HDMI cable fit. I used the Cable Matters mini-HDMI (male) to HDMI (female) adapter. Works great. Hope this helps. Mine did not come with an HDMI cable.

You can also purchase HDMI cables at Monoprice.com..for around $5.00 and $6.00 for shipping..they are excellent..no middle man I was recommended by Audiophile/Videophile friends!

the warranty from amazon is probably much better than the manuf. see amazons policys. VERY important. you probably need a signal booster in line when using this length of HDMI cable

Yeah I already ordered all of the HDMI cables I need for this receiver from Monoprice. Now I will just act like I am not interested in it at all and maybe the price will drop back down. Think I'll head over to Circuit City tonight and just buy it there.

I purchased 1.3a category 2 certified 28AWG 6 ft hdmi cables through monoprice that work equally well with the Steren gold-tipped video cables provided by my cable company. The cable guy told me they are equivalent, and I would agree with that after having compared them myself. However the cable guy did also tell me that optical audio cables would be needed to match the quality that hdmi cables would provide. I do not have a surround sound system so can't judge the difference on that. Ultimately I went with the hdmi cables because there is only one plug on each end and so simpler to disconnect and reconnect if need be. PS I also compared top of the line Monster Cable HDMI (over $100 each!) to the monoprice $5 cables and couldn't tell any difference. This is on a Sony 1080p xbr4 120hz tv with a Playstation 3 for Blu Ray/dvd player. I say if component cables work better for you, go with them.

I hear ya. I've been using Amazon for about 10 years and i am never dissappointed. However, the $200 difference was tempting. I linked the website to Amazon hoping they'll lower their price just a little.

I even signed up for the Amazon store card so that I could get the not finance charge for 18 months. If I do get the set from Frys.com or Abes then I going to have to deal with the hassle of closing out the Amazon card too.I have bought a few cameras from Abes of maine. They did fine by me in the past. I'll have to check it out.Its funny they keep raising the price of the 46 and lowering the price of the 52inch. The 52 inch only by a $1 at a time though.Maybe they want to sell more 52s?

Yes, You are right my man. My $2.00 + Shipping Amazon Hdmi Cable is giving me a perfect picture. If you needed Monster Cables @ $200.00 each then a person would need to spend $1,000.00 for cables to get all his toys hooked up... I think I will spend $10 and use the other $990.00 on a good sound system.. Ho! Ho! Ho! and have a Samsung Christmas......
