Is There Anyone Stupid Enough to Believe That This Cable Has Anti-Virus Protection

gizmodo
This "Xbox 360 Elite HDMI cable" should be just like any other HDMI cable in the planet, right? Wrong! According to the box, it's a "100% Mylar" double shield 1.3c grade cable with anti-virus protection to reduce virus noises and to obtain perfect image transmission."

the people of best-buy believe it and they can talk your technology illiterate mom into believing it as well.

I belive it was mistranslated The product was probably meant to say that
it's double shielded to prevent radio interference from signal noise.

Yes.....Yes people are that stupid. Not everyone is entirely that stupid until they walk in the door of Bestbuy though. I've been talked to by them so many times, and just nodded my head to see where they went lol

I remember when they would constantly tell you to buy the 60 dollar HDMI cables, instead of the 10 dollar ones.

same with the optical cables. my brother ( who knows NOTHING about tech ) got talked in to buying an optical cable for £50!!!

these sales men deserve to be punished, poor customers lol

Soldierone4290d ago

Its fun catching them in the act though and randomly start talking smart to them. Then they start eying other customers and disappear lol

Bahahahaha this is epic.

Soon they will say it has its own firewall and also boosts the speed of live tv letting you fast forward lmao

Heheheheh but yea I do think its an error.

Xbox 360 had a good run. I thought Wii would be globally discontinued before this happened.

It's sad to see it go but some good things must come to an end. I met a lot of good people who have become longtime friends on the Xbox 360.

I hope they will not abandon the manufacturing of X360 controllers, i find them the best.
