Ahh, both companies are a bunch of assholes. They both try to sell HDMI cables for way too much. And everyone knows that even some of the shittiest quality HDMI cables will get you the same quality digital picture as the most expensive.

Both companies? Dude blue jeans cables i got a (i think it was 3 years ago) 8' hdmi cable for freaking $30 + shipping. That's what my cousin who works at best buy gets dynex brand hdmi cables for (6').. and they give it to him at cost + 5%. I've ordered from them before, will order from them again, and plus you have the added satisfaction of him legally bitch slapping monster cable who overcharges a hell of alot.

After reading your comment, I'm not sure you know who Blue Jeans Cable is. Lumping them in with Monster Cable makes absolutely no sense when they sell their product at a fraction of Monster's prices for the same quality.

I'm not talking about their analog type cables. I'm only talking about HDMI cables, and Blue Jeans sells it for too much. Yes, cheaper than Monster, but like I said, even the cheapest HDMI cables get you the same quality picture as most expensive. And Blue Jeans has a bunch of different HDMI cable skus(which is Monster type bullshit), as if it really matters. Buying an 6 feet HDMI cable on ebay for $4, is going to get you the same picture quality picture as Blue Jeans' $30 6 foot HDMI cable.
On the Asshole scale, Monster is at the top, and Blue Jeans is not even close to Monster, but they are BOTH still on the Asshole scale in my opinion based on HDMI cables alone.
