What a waste of money. You can get a switch just as high of quality over at Monoprice.com. Their prices are monstrously low and demonstrate just how much of a scam HDMI resale is among the home theater retailers.
Best Buy has done a great job convincing people that these devices need to be as complex and shielded as analog cables do, but it's obviously a lie to keep the only margin in TV sales alive (apart from extended warranty) .

Yeah the monoprice one is a good deal ($130 less). Only problem with theirs is no HDMI 1.3 support. Which may or may not be a deal breaker to some people. However I wouldn't be surprised if Monoprice had a 1.3 spec switch shortly for not much more money.

Hardly anyone actually needs 1.3 compliance because support isn't there. If you're just looking for a 4x1 HDMI switch that'll work with virtually everything out there, Monoprice has you covered for $50. A far cry from anything I've seen at a B&M or elsewhere online:
