Is there anyone who has installed this new cable from PPC yet? I'm considering using it to connect my PS3 to my Samsung LCD TV. I'm curious if there are others who have installed this particular cable and what the initial "product review" is for the locking feature. I have had issues, as of late, with my old HDMI cable > PS3 connection coming loose and think that this cable could be a good solution.

I have now tried this new cable and it really is a great cable. It makes you feel much more comfortable, and it DOES NOT fall out even if you try to pull it out of its socket.
Very pleased.....
