Well, why not just buy the Chinese made ones directly for $5? It's a pretty easy sell also. In this day and age where everyone wants a nice HDTV with a great sound system, a store associate can easily talk you into buying the more expensive cables just so you don't "ruin your investment". don't listen to them! ya i’m pretty sure the golden tips are a scam. i think a lot of companies (and even electronics stores) make a lot of profit off of the margins on accessories like this. what usually happens is microsoft or sony decides to charge you $40 for a component cable, but they have it made in China for $3.

Supposedly it gives a superior picture and sound. I honestly don't see a difference in quality between the generic 10 dollar cable and the brand name ones. Agreed,
