Is there a big difference between the $60 monster component cables and the offcial sony cables or something cheap like this (http://www.walmart.com/catalog/product.do?product_id=1731753) ?

As long as they meet the cabling standards they are fine. All you are doing is paying for the name. Some cable companies may provide thicker outer sheilding for an HDMI cable or such, but I bought a cheaper HDMI cable for my PS3 from newegg and it works fine and does what it needs to do.
