Is the Microsoft marketed Xbox 360 cable really any different from the standard HDMI cable? Is there any reason that I need to get the Microsoft cable or can I just get the standard ($3) cable.
For the record, I'm thinking about the newest generation of Xbox 360, the 4gb model.

You can just get the standard cable, there is no real difference between the $3 Amazon.com cable and the $800 Best Buy cable (make sure you read the reviews on that one).
With digital-signals (unlike analog), lower-quality signals give you the same quality audio/video. HDMI cables only carry digital signals, so using ultra-high quality titanium-shielded solid-gold cables is no longer necessary to get good-quality audio/video.
