60 is a much better model and for the minimal increases if its in good shape is a good deal.

thats a pretty sweet deal if you plan on modding it, but when you buy a ps3 you get 5 free movies anyways and i got my HDMI cables for 13 dollars each...But if you plan on cracking it opened get it already lol!

$100 for an HDMI cable!!!! dude, HDMI's cables are all the same..

they are made of somewhat different material which still works either way. You could have went to your grocery store and got one for $20. And it would work just as fine as a $100 one. Cables both send electrical signals. You would never tell the difference between a monster or a cheap cable for $20...

A 1.1V HDMI cable is no different than a 1.3V.. They both can "see" the signal that is being broadcasted through them. Companies just want to charge more because its a 1.3V. There is no difference between the two. They are both designed to do the same thing for the years to come..

edit* you can also find cables for around $20 at frys or any other large online marketplace...

Actually some cables have higher bandwidth, but for now all HDMI cables can carry 1080p fine.  Some high capacity HDMI cables will carry 2160p, but thats the next step...

1.3V Cables have the higher bandwidth, as alot more data is transferred.
