I just wanted to throw this out there... (forgive me for this not being a longer and more detailed explanation...I am somewhat in a hurry...) Don't be fooled by fancy terms and technical talk, 'cheapo' and 'generic' HDMI cables that can be found on sites like eBay for easily more than half of standard retail price are EXCELLENT alternatives to name brand cables like Monster. Now, when I say that, it is more pointed towards cables 10' - 12' or less. (If you are in need of a 15' plus cable, then the more durable 'high end' cables do respond SLIGHTLY better in tests...but even then the results are VERY CLOSE to identical.) I'll give a perfect example... I run a home based video game and publishing business. Specifically related to my publishing office, I have a pretty high end setup, and use a 32" LCD HDTV as a second computer monitor so when I have customers in, I can show them on that screen what kind of products I offer and how the finished product will look. I just completed my remodel in the last thirty days, and was in need of HDMI cables to run from my computer and from my Blu-Ray player to the 32" TV. On eBay, I purchased three 20' HDMI cables. The cost each: $12.50 (FREE SHIPPING) Again, that was a 20' generic @ $12.50 compared to the 16' Monster cable ON SALE??? at $29.99. I'm not trying to 'bash' anyone who wishes to purchase these more expensive name brands, but I would just like everyone to be aware there are much less expensive alternatives out there which perform just as good as these name brand cables are far less the cost.

Just a quick note...as of about 10 minutes ago, Walmart had Wii systems in stock as well. No bundles, just the system for $249.94

I see someone beat me to the TRU info a few posts above. Sorry for the double post.

My first post...so I hope this helps a few of you! www (.) toysrus (.) com has the Nintendo Wii console instock right now! No bundles! No forcing you to buy 6 games that no one will play after a week! And no half-useless accessories that you can get by without! I tried to post a link directly to the Wii page, but I received a message saying I have not posted enough to be allowed to post the link directly to that page. Anyway, I hope this helps out some of you!
