Expensive HDMI cables is one of the biggest scams going. It's like paying top dollar for a USB cable to connect your keyboard because you want to make sure the letters come through with high fidelity.
Baring a complete lack of quality control, so that the cable end falls off or the conductor doesn't actually run the length of the cable, the actual performance difference between a $75 cable and a $3 is nil. Odds are the $75 cable will have more plastic on the cable end, probably with some pretty molding to make it look bad-***.
Having said all that, most folks in the know get their HDMI cables at Cables.com which has a proven track record of good stuff at rock bottom prices.
