    i was really pissed off today. a couple days ago i bought a HDMI cable for $14, just a crappy generic one at the grocery store. today i was back in the same store, looking in the PS3 accessories section instead of the cables section, and they have the EXACT same cable for $6. it's not a price drop, it's still priced the same in their cables section. WTF.

    Seriously? What store was it? I'm in need of one for my ps3 and don't feel like ordering online. Everywhere I've been has been over $30. Usually around the $70-80 mark.

    Oh my, the world would be a much better place if more people like that were neutered.

    Indeed, but they still let northerners breed.

    Such a shame.

    £15 generic printer cables in Currys make me angry.
    You can get the same cables (probably from the same factory in china) in Poundland for a (captain obvious to the rescue) pound.
    It's just so they can sell a printer to people who don't know any better and say "oh btw, you'll need one of these"
    *******s :miffed:
