Did you get suckered by best buy? Return it and get one at monoprice for probably less than the sales tax on what you paid for your cable.

EDIT: btw, which bluray player did you get? I heard some of them do the Netflix streaming now. I just signed up for Netflix a few weeks ago, and I have the streaming on the xbox360, it's pretty kick-ass!

+1 Monoprice for best products and prices.
Look at the price on the Banana's and they work great!

yeah dude...hdmi cables are next to free...

in fact I got mine for free!

oh and you should have bought a PS3...games AND a Blu-Ray! What else do you need?

Oh and you better have 1080p
 
Bruce Lee's "Enter The Dragon" is fookin amazing in BluRay. I'm amazed at the clarity of a 36 year old film.:thumbup:thumbup
 
At least you didn't get suckered into the whole HDdvd Toshiba setup that i bought for 200 bones only to find out it was the Betamax of HD.
 
If you're getting into HD, don't skimp on the audio - it's half the experience when watching a movie.
 
No, I wasn't fooled by the Best Buy cable prices, I got one at Fred Meyer for $10. I wanted to watch a movie that weekend and didn't mind spending a little extra for one. It just floored me that Best Buy was selling those cables for $70!

Edit:
I got a Sony BDP-S550. I'm totally doing my part to stimulate the economy damn it!

Seriously, I've been loading up on A/V equipment first. When I get this setup tuned so it sounds good, THEN I will buy the ps3. :p

I bought the ps3 for the fact it plays blue ray and love it. If you are going to go blue ray why not get a system that plays games too? I already had the theater system. I am spoiled now. I love it. The movies cost more but worth it.
 
The PQ of BR is nice, but a good 7.1/5.1 HDmix brings it all together. Not to mention a gut slamming sub.

I have the BDP-S300 and it sucks! Takes forever to load and locks up pretty frequently. I just reflashed it last night as it wouldn't even play the latest BluRay DVD's.

Word to the wise, check the sony site for firmware updates. I have upgraded mine two times in the last 3 months. They keep changing the Java on the discs so you have to keep upgrading the firmware too :(
 
Anybody know how good/bad Netflix library of blu-ray is? Do they have much on blu-ray?
