Pft $60? Have you not seen the $1000 "audiophile grade" audio cables?
I could justify $60 for an HDMI cable if it was an active cable that was >20ft or an armored outdoor cable >10ft. Really quality of HDMI and other digital cables only matters if you're pushing the maximum length for the spec (where rigid adherence to materials quality and build quality above spec can start to mean things) which is I think 50 feet for HDMI over copper and even then the top tier brands you see in stores are rip-offs (not that commercial brands aren't a bit pricier than the discount monoprice stuff but they're still far away from the rip-off pricing).
