OT: looking for an adapter

I'm amazed at the range over which the prices of these cables vary. I've found
(via google.com) 3' cables with the VHDCI connector at one end and the normal HD
68-pin at the other, for prices ranging from $178 to $35. Surely there's some
difference other than quality, though it's not obvious from the posted
information.
