I've noticed that all sorts of basic cables for electronics are priced sky-high in recent years, particularly those carrying digital signals (1's and 0's) where it either works or doesn't and signal noise isn't really a problem. Anyhoo, CNet noticed as well: The economics of cables | The Pervasive Datacenter - CNET News.com
People tend not to comparison shop. It's something you need now. Prices are in tens of dollars not hundreds of dollars and are often considered in the context of the more expensive electronics the cable is being used with.
Here are a bunch of HDMI cables as good as any others for $10 or less.
