Solution Looking for a Problem - Locking HDMI Cables

"Taking HDMI cables to new marketing heights is the new Locking HDMI Cable from PPC. It's designed to stay in an HDMI slot better than standard cables using special patent-pending locking technology. According to the marketing hype, these locking cables are: "Especially important for highly-active games that feature constant movement, the PPC Locking HDMI Cable stays in place with exclusive patented technology that secures the cable onto a port 3 times stronger than with conventional cables." I don't know about anyone else, but even with a game like DDR I'm keeping the console firmly in one place, not strapped to my back as I jump and spin to the music."

These guys need to get together with the snake oil salesmen at Monster Cable to peddle their crap. Under no circumstances should you be allowing your TV or connected equipment to be jostled to the point where cables are coming loose. I even look at a locking cable as being a negative. Let's say under some strange circumstance that my cords get tugged on. I'd rather them come loose than risk breaking the connector.
