$52.99 for a gol'dang DVI cable! What the hell is that?!! That is NOT a BEST BUY! Somebody please explain to me why $52.99 is the cheapest they have for a DVI cable! Why do they have to only carry the ones with the stupid gold plated connectors!? Why can't I just find a cheap $10 6 foot DVI cable! SCREW YOU BEST BUY! I was going to buy a $400 lcd monitor from them until I saw it didn't come with the DVI cable and their cheapest one was $52.99! NO SALE BIOTCH!

I went to radio shack last month for one, and the cheapest they had was over $100......

Glad i have an extra one now....

You have 2 choices:

1) To buy the products at the prices they're selling them at
2) To not buy the products at the prices they're selling them at

Really, there is no confusion.

You don't like the prices, don't buy it. Companies have to make money somehow, cables & accy's is where its at.

Buhbye, thx for playing

Best Buy, I'd wager to say, makes 80% or more of their profits on ACCESSORIES.

Buying an Xbox? How about a stupid $60 "Monster Cable" that costs up $4.50?
DVD player? How about some $80 "component cables" that are uber-cool looking that we paid $3 for.

NEVER BUY ACCESSORIES FROM ANYWHERE OTHER THAN THE INTERNET. You can buy cables online WITH OVERNIGHT SHIPPING for less than half of what you'd pay in-store.

Hey now! With that attitude, Best Buy will just have to rely on stupid people who don't know any better. Do you really want that?
