I hate Futureshop and Best buy because of the asshole salespeople there. They have lots of evil tricks including:

- Sales people who upsell you on overprice cable
- Demos of "noisy"cables vs Monster Cable
- Demos of "noisy" Powerbars vs Monster Cable "filtered" powerbars.

A couple of years ago I was checking out new TV's there, and this douchebag salesperson was selling a little old lady on all this extra shit that she didn't need (or understand). She just bought a TV, and was about to drop $180 for a power bar to "improve the video quality" and make the tv "last much longer". Fucking bastard.

The best way to shop at these places is to do your research online to find the best price first. If they have it, go to the store and buy ONLY that. Forget the add-ons and especially the rip-off warranty.
There is an insane difference between HDMI cables if you run into the 20 meters (65+ feet). The video quality is clearly visible.

The short ones, well, you need a scope to tell the difference, so, not worth that mutch of an extra cost.
