Porkchop Technology Review's

Every time I go to FutureShop (the Canadian equivalent of BestBuy in USA) and buy some kind of video product, either it be a Blu-ray player to a VHS, I can kind of predict what the sales guy is going to say.  He will most likely say after buying the product, you need these Monster cables for superior sound or video, they usually cost around $100 for a wire that is no special then that $3 wire at the dollar store, and if I say no, and he gets that I know about monster, I’m not the average customer, he tries to push the RocketFish brand, which is there in house brand, another scam, a cable that is even more cheaper constructed than Monster, but has gold plated or copper shielding added to it, and is usually half the price of Monster,  I then decline, and then they of course try to sell me the Extended warranty scam.  As you can see the people at the store are not the most knowledgebale in that field, they are usually people who either think they know a lot, or pretend, you might find the honest guy there, but its hard, since all there training and pressure is to up sell these products even though there is no advantage of owning them.  I know this as well from a friend who use to work there, he told me how they trained them to absolutely sell those monster cables, and they had incentives, such as a lot of commission and probably an award at the end of the month who sold the most monster cables.  I’ll be talking about the newest/most popular cables people buy today when they usually go shopping for a TV and surround sound system.
