$3000 USB Cable - WTF?!
Discussion
I suppose it had to happen some time, but I was just doing a little digging on whether there's any benefit whatsoever in spending money on a HDMI lead vs. using the one that comes with the Sky HD box.

Part of me thinks fair enough, each to their own, but on the other hand, I work in IT and if someone were to suggest to me that my data would be transferred more accurately between A and B, or that printouts would look more vivid and lifelike, all due to an expensive cable, I'd think they were mad - a well constructed cable that meets the specification required then yes fair enough, but how have hi-fi companies managed to take something that has worked perfectly well in the IT world for a decade, and mark it up pretty much a thousand fold?
