    It's monoprice.com Frys usually has some axxion (sp) HDMI cable there for 4.99. I've bought 2 from there at separate times. It's just in a plastic bag sitting in some odd corner of Frys.

    Wow...I looked everywhere. Which Fry's and which odd corner? I looked in both the computer dept and tv area and saw a bunch, but none cheap.

    I saw some on Buy.com for about 6 bucks. I wish I would have waited but I already opened up the pkg.

    So... in thinking about picking up a Bluray player, I realize I am already using the 2 HDMI slots on my tv for my Tivo and XBox 360. If I were to get a Bluray player, should I switch the Tivo to composite and use that slot for the player as the majority of the stuff I watch on the Tivo is coming compressed from the cable company anyway or should I look into buying a cheap receiver that has more HDMI inputs?
