Holy &*#@ Best buy sells a $700 HDMI Cable

This is not a joke, Best Buy (who's pretty well known for ripping off the tech-illiterate) has on their website a 6 foot HDMI Cable that costs $695.99. Never mind that all HDMI cables pretty much work the same, why spend 9.95 at Fry's when you can buy a cable that's eligible for 24 month financing?

The only way I can make sense of this is that Best Buy is actively trolling nerds like me... and of course it's working. Here are a few of the "most helpful" reviews on their site.

"I must say, I was a bit disappointed in this cable. I saved up for 6 months to buy it. (I work at Wendy's so I don't make a lot of money). When I first plugged it into my dvd player, I was impressed at how well it fit into the socket. It's probably from the gold plating. When I went to hook up the other end to my 36" Dynex, I was so angry to find it only had a DVI input. So I bought a DVI to HDMI adapter at Radio Shak, and was able to make it work. I couldn't really tell much of a difference between my Monster cables, but it probably just takes a while to get used to. I would recommend it to a friend."

"I was amazed this cable was still in stock. I use it to power my 14.4 inch crt because i can't afford an lcd. I was initially concerned about the cost but once i did my research and found out this cable is manufactured with the mineral "doesnotexistium" i knew i had to have one. When its not in use on my crt i use it to hold the drapes back. I have ordered 5 more. We have a lot of drapes."

I hope to God no one has ever actually bought these cables (I'm looking your way Loren) and they only exist in some sort of universe composed entirely of Internet commenters.
