Yes, that's three cents.

Up till now I've always ordered from Monoprice, but it's nice to see the low prices spreading. I hope Monster disappears for good.

Yep, I bought similar cables for 3 bucks each from another supplier, and they work just as good as the 50 dollar cable I bought with my TV.

It's says it's only a penny when I click the link. But it's sold by Eforcity, who I've never heard of. Still, a penny?

And it's only $3 shipping. That's sweet. (Things like this are often sold for pretty much nothing, with the money being made on the shipping.)

I'd go for this if I hadn't just bought a load of stuff from Monoprice (they also had a HD cable that supports 360, Wii, PS3 and PS2 all in one!)

Will the PS3 Slim I'm buying come with an HDMI cable? Or do I need to buy one?

It will come with a composite cable. Yes, you read that correctly, composite (i.e. non-HD compliant). So you'll need to purchase an HDMI cable.

Sucks for you people who already bought it, they just slashed the price 66%. It's only one cent now!

Eforcity is reliable. They're essentially a competitor to Monoprice, and I use them both frequently for my cabling needs.

You might want to check on that, according to some of the customer reviews these specific cables are not Category 2 certified. Which means that you may or may not have trouble with 1080p, I guess it depends on your rig, but just be aware. I bought a couple mainly for my older DVD that is only 720, and another to have on hand.

Thanks for the heads up!

These are the ones I bought. 3 bucks, but they work great.

Monoprice has some for about that same price that are color coded and VERY appealing to my OCD need to organize my entertainment center.
