Get a free 3m HDMI Cable from The Cable Connection

You need to do is head over to your nearest The Cable Connection Store and simply ask for it.

The four stores are:

Sydney: 3/40 Waterview Street, Carlton, NSW, 2218
Melbourne: 3/7 Anzed Court, Mulgrave, VIC, 3170
Brisbane: 3/ 54 Rivserside Place, Morningside, QLD, 4170

It's not very specific on the facebook page, but I've already got my cable today. You can see the various comments on the Facebook page.

EDIT: Finally found the official post.

    It's not very specific, and not posted by the rep. No real way of confirming this apart from a couple comments.

    • wtfnodeal on 21/01/2013 - 22:29

      I assume you can call the store before you go?

      That facebook post was made by the company on 10 July 2012, and they are still giving these away 6 months later?! That's a very long promotion, one which I think will end after they get ozbargained. I feel sorry for these guys, they will end up giving away more free cables in this week, than they have in the last 6 months.

        Mdippa - lol! Its been OZB'ed now but we will let it run for a few days … Would be unfair otherwise!

        Explains where all the extra likes came from overnight though!

        :)

    Do you think cable is sufficient for my LCD screen or should i invest in a monster HDMI cable for $219? I managed to negotiate it to $200 @ Harvey Normans which i think is fairly reasonable.

      I really hope people realise this is a joke and dont go out and spend hundreds on a HDMI cable…

    • Wolfie on 21/01/2013 - 22:54

      This has to be a joke right? HN HDMI cable is so overpriced it is not funny.

      Hell no.
      Don't buy cables from Hardly normal.
      Ring these guys and ask about there cables.
      It should be illegal to sell them at that price. The monster cables that is or any cable asking that much.

    • chipstss on 21/01/2013 - 23:18

      No, I would say haggle down to at least $180 and you should be good. You never know the quality of these free cables.

        The 1's and 0's are much clearer when using Monster cables. It's science.

          It's so clear the 1's are like 2's and the 0 is almost -1

      Yes you should definitely get it. All other cables are inferior. HDMI cables aren't really just a set of wires that run from one end to the other. Some have magical ponies inside them which make the electrons move faster from one end to the other giving you a better picture.

    So spend $10 in petrol to drive to nearest store, then get it when i can get one cheaper than 10?

    • ElectronicFirst on 21/01/2013 - 23:22

      which then I can get it cheaper than $10 at ebay or elsewhere?

    • retiredfeline on 22/01/2013 - 10:01

      True, but may be convenient for someone living nearby, so I gave it a + but won't use the offer. At least I learnt where Carlton is (near Kogarah).

    let's pretend this HDMI cable is the same one that got sold in HN….
    WOW! I am geting $200 in freebies!

    I want to take my free cable and get the guys at HN to show me how their $200 cables are better.

  • [Deactivated] on 22/01/2013 - 07:19

    will officeworks beat this price and give me a 3.15m cable?

      No they will not price match. It needs to have a price for them to match.

      Good one early in the morning.

    I'm going to keep my post short and sweet (just like a 3mt HDMI cable) and suggest people read:

    http://gizmodo.com/266616/the-truth-about-monster-cable

    • Billygoat on 22/01/2013 - 08:52

      Better skip the article and read the comments under the article.

    • Yarkin on 22/01/2013 - 09:57

      Surely a 3 metric ton HDMI cable is neither short nor sweet…

    Not plated with unicorn leather :(

    I'd rather spend another $150 for one that does

  • wisc on 22/01/2013 - 10:00

    I can certainly testify that above 10meters, quality of the cable comes into play… 3 meters, cheap cables may die if they are moved to much due to the cheap build quality and thin wires, however, for a back of the PC to monitor that just stays there, unless you get a dodgy cable you should be pretty right.

    • justtoreply on 22/01/2013 - 11:44

      Indeed. Long runs or strange setups (eg: dvi switch box and dvi-hdmi adapters) require better quality cables. Poor quality cables can make artifacts like green speckling rather than failing to produce a picture.

      It's harder to find this out on the internet as the "cable quality doesnt matter for digital signal" falsehood is well spread. I speak from personal cabling experience.

      For 99% of setups, cable quality does not matter.

      PS: Monster cables are not better quality cables.

  • DaaC on 22/01/2013 - 11:37

    is this 1.3 or 1.4 version?

    We had lots of cables collected at that address today. Are you sure you had the right place?

    Hey Matt, how much for a wall bracket for a 60inch plasma tv, if I'm going in for a free cable, I better buy something.
