 High quality. Do their job. Pricey, though. Feb 24, 2010
Like other reviewers, I'm impressed by the fact that the HDMI cable is covered in a protective braided sheath, and also by the actual connectors being gold-plated. However, I am surprised that the USB cable is of similar quality, simply because the USB cable that comes with the PS3 is not, and is only a basic, unassuming USB cable (I would've thought it'd be the other way around).
I bought Sony brand because it's an OCD thing for me to always by first party (or officially licensed) accessories and hardware for my gaming consoles. Ultimately though, I doubt that this HDMI cables does anything more than what a $7 one would, so if you're a bargain hunter, I see no reason to not go that route. If you're dead-set on these, but have time to kill, I recommend waiting until the price drops at least $10, as $40 really is a bit much.
Overall:
Quality: A+
Price: C

Two questions answered... Jan 27, 2010
I bought this Sony cable package from Amazon with my PS3 after reading the reviews here and pondering the cost. Here is my answer to two questions people generally ask.
First, how long are the cables? The HDMI and USB cables are both 10 ft. long. That's great for the USB, but a lot of excess length for the HDMI that must be rolled up and hidden behind your equipment.
Second, why do they cost so much and are they worth the price? These are high quality flexible cables with fabric covering that immediately unroll into a straight line and have no lasting stiff kinks like all the other plastic covered cables I have. That definitely makes them a pleasure to use and worth their cost to me. The output on any AV system is no better than its weakest link. It makes no sense to save a few bucks on a longterm purchase like cables that are relatively inexpensive, yet vital parts of my $5,000 AV system. You can buy these cables knowing that you are getting the best quality while also avoiding the irritation of needing to unravel them each time you use your PS3. I'm glad I bit the bullet and bought them up front so I have one less thing in life to second guess or buy again...

 HDMI cable Jan 26, 2010
I purchased this cable as I needed cable for the PS3 and this came recommended. I had trouble getting the PS3 to switch to HDMI and couldn't figure out what the problem was. I reset and played with my sony TV but to no avail. I contacted Sony but all I got from them was the same info in the FAQ section.
So finally I bought another HDMI cable.

Works fine, what bugs me is this was a new cable that turned out to be a DUD!
How does that happen?

The Final Word On HDMI Period Jan 25, 2010
I work for no companies, sponsored by no companies, and bound by no companies, therefore I am going to give every reader the cold hard truth with no bias.
Hello everyone, I'm a pro DJ residing in Japan. Furthermore being such, I am a pretty big audiophile. I personally tested and researched my fare share of audio equipment such as turntables, CD players, mixers, receivers, amplifiers speakers, and cables etc. to try to find that optimal sound quality. As a hobbyist I am also a videophile that likes more than his fare share of movies and video games. With a library of about 500 DVDs (which I now would like to sell to replace with the same movies on Blu-Ray) and a video game count you wouldn't believe me if I told you. I really do love my electronics and want the best quality of presentation I can get. I'm sorry to give such a long background presentation about me, I just want everyone to know how serious and passionate I am about this stuff.
Now an analogy dealing with HDMI / Gold vs. Silver
There is no racial undertones in this analogy but I felt human beings are the best comparison I could make. If my mother sent me a letter in the mail, when the postman is en-route to deliver it, it doesn't matter what color skin is wrapped around the mailman or what gender he/she is. It doesn't matter if they were sick the day of my delivery and replaced by another worker of a different race. The letter will be delivered inevitably and regardless anything. HDMI is a delivery medium like a mailman to deliver integrated audio/video to its destination. As long as it gets there is all that matters. Question, what does gold and silver have to do with the delivery of the binary 1s and 0s? Answer, absolutely nothing. Digital is digital. My absolute shortest possible answer for all your questions is, either it works or it doesn't. With A/V cables it mattered because it was analog (and yes I used Monster then), with digital nothing changes.
Do I need 120 Hertz HDMI cables?
No you don't, another gimmick just to take your money. "There is no such thing." I don't know if Amazon accepts external weblinks so I will tell you what to Google search to find the complete end all article on this topic. The website name is Audioholics dot com and the article name is "Do I Need 120 Hertz HDMI Cables?"
Prices
Even though the Sony cables are reasonably priced in the HDMI cable market, they are still overpriced. My cables I bought in Japan were in a bargain bin and I paid ¥400 (US $4.00) for approximately a 15 inch cable. The packaging was plastic wrap and the only thing written on it was the length of the cable and a UPC code. No brand/company name, address, anything else printed on the package or the cables. I had no qualms about buying it because I knew 100% it would perform exactly the same as the top end cables. The price only changed due to cable length, the shorter and longer cables being $2.00 and $8.00 respectively.
Driving in a straight line / Cable Length
You're a celebrity driving in your McLaren F1 supercar. Top speed 240mph (386kph). You drag race it in a straight line and redline it, you are still pretty safe. You try to turn a corner at top speed though and you're dead. The only thing that could "potentially" affect an HDMI cable's quality is the cable length. The shorter the cable the better. When a cable is short and straight the path that the data travels down is more direct and safer. When it is longer and starts to curl and curve it gets more dangerous and there is the possibility that the signal could break up a little bit at times. But really even it doesn't matter so much because those chances for data loss are slim, which is why I used the words "potentially" and "possibility".
Final answer
The cheapest cable is the same, buy it. I took the guess work out of everything for you guys, hope you appreciate it. Remember shop smarter, not harder.
2 cables that work and are made well! Jan 17, 2010
First let me say that I'm in that group of people that say cheap HDMI is as good as pricey HDMI. I have never had a problem with my 3 to 10 dollar cables that are hooked up to my TV's. The initial draw to this pack for me was the length of the cables. The 10' length is a real plus, the HDMI is very well made (thick durable cloth covered cable,gold plated ends), and the USB is nice as well still made of the nice durable cloth and gold plated ends. I have the HDMI hooked up to my PS3 and the picture and sound are perfect, both with games and movies, and who doesn't like to sit on the couch and still use the controller as it's charging.
As to the price. I was able to pick this pack up locally for 20$(store closing), so I had a bit more incentive to buy it. With the HDMI being the real draw to this pack, the USB is a nice throw in, I would never have paid retail for this, but at around 18$ a cable and if you need the extra length and don't feel like looking around for something cheaper you cant go wrong with these 2.
