Was in town earlier today & needed 3 cables, an HDMI, an optical & a component.
Spoke to the conet man & he recommended an HDMI that was £30, optical that was £20, they didn't have component cable. Ended up being quite rude when I told him I wanted cheap cable & have just bought all 3 on Amazon for £12.00...
Just thought I'd share...
cables on the high street are a rip off, you did right
I was after an optical cable last weekend, needed at least 2m to be sure of it reaching.
Comet had a 3m optical cable at £59.99.
Maplin had a 3m one at £10.99 - no brainer
The problem with Currys/Comet etc is that they only seem to stock the really expensive cables, and try to convince you that this is all that's available, so you'll put up & shut up.
Have got all my interconnects from http://www.thatcable.com/ - I see no need to spend any more for digital interconnects.

you'll only be watching I'm a celebrity on it after all 
I wouldn't buy digital interconnects from high street stores, any more than I'd buy memory cards. Even Maplins overcharge for those; a 2Gb SD card for £10! Xxox off, I can get an 8Gb for that online, possibly even a 16 now.

I'm looking forward to hearing just how good the x-factor finalists sound through my stereo - I think the reason they've all sounded abysmal thus far is down to the limitations of my tv speakers....
Just make sure you install them the right way round

No, your TV speakers sound like they were working just fine....
Poundland FTW!

Wilkinson's have a good range too, if vastly overpriced compared to Poundland.
Cables and accessories are where the commission is for the sales guys.
