And now I have two dual-analog controllers at home.Case in point: I feel like buying a Nerf gun now, just because I feel that the Knock-Stick of Great Justice will not provide good long distance protection against rogue ninjas.

For 1080i video, I reckon a HDMI cable supporting the HDMI 1.2 specification would be good enough. You don't need HDMI 1.3 unless you're going for a deep-color LCD panel or LED panel TV (and perhaps 1080i 3D), and HDMI 1.4 if you're going for Full-HD 3D and HDMI-over-ethernet (which nothing supports yet).

For 1080i video, I recommend a HDMI cable supporting the HDMI 1.2 specification. You don't need anything newer unless you're going for 1080p 3D on a Smart TV with a deep-color LCD display that uses HDMI for Ethernet as well.
cpd2009 Wrote:I'll take note of that. Most HDMI cables that are being sold right now should support HDMI 1.2.Well, what I'm trying to point out is, 1.2 cables tend to be dirt-cheap nowadays. 1.3 tends to be comparably more expensive, and 1.4 is the most expensive of the bunch. Unless your TV can make use of the extra features, you don't need the more expensive cable.

I just bought a 1.4 cable and hooked Jess up to it. The other end of the cable will go to Quetzal III. From the looks of it tho, Berlioz also supports 1.4 and I'll need to get another one. No biggie, those just cost me US$5
