Default Aargh, i hate pc world sales staff!!!

(Dont mind me im just venting some frustration!)

My ps3 bit the dust recently so i decided to buy a cheap-ish bluray player as a replacement.
Went to my local pc world store this morning and found a good player, no problems there, but what the heck is it with these sales guys trying to get me to buy the most expensive hdmi cable in existence.

He spent a good 15 mins trying to convince me that a £49.99 hdmi cable would give me far superior picture/sound quality to a standard £2-3 cable.
I tried to fight my corner and explain that i wasnt a total moron and that a digital signal is in no way affected by cable quality/gold connectors/shielding etc, its digital, you either get a signal or you dont, but he was having none of it.
He even went and fetched a chap from their installations department to explain that because he was a qualified installations engineer he could say with certainty that my cheap cable would result in fuzzy/sparkly picture quality and analogue quality sound... what a load of crap.

Now i know these guys work on commision but to tell outright lies to sell you stuff you dont need is unforgivable, needless to say i walked out without buying either the cable or the player.

...Right im done now.
