...is usually such a rip off but this looks a bit of bargain at under £18 delivered.

(I have no association with 7 day shop but I have bought from them in the past.)
Still looks like a rip-off to me, even with a ludicrous "saving of £132". You can buy gold-plated HDMI cables for less than one third of that price, and I defy anyone to see a difference. Bah humbug! :)
Yep, HDMI cables don't need to be anything like that price, even at the discount.
Amazon have them at about £1:00 upwards, though some users complained about the actual connecting plugs breaking on the cheapest cables. In this case I suppose you get what you pay for.
I bought an Esata cable from Amazon that was £3-50. A big mistake it was absolute chinese junk. Someone told me that with digital signals it is either there or not, fancy cables are of no benefit. So it seems to me the art is to find something at around a tenner that is not overpriced chinese rubbish.
I bought one from Amazon for £7 (swayed by the fact that customer reviews gave it 5 stars). There are cheaper ones around, but normally I avoid the very cheapest as they can easily turn out to be a false econonmy.

Sounds about right to me too.
Our local Tesco recently had a few boxes of Philips branded HDMI cables - we bought two of them and they do seem decent enough - I think they were a couple of quid each at most.
I perhaps wouldn't have bought them unseen (online).
What I really don't like is when the likes of Maplin sell total crud and try to charge proper money for it!
