You do NOT need 1.3 unless you require the ability to decode Deep Color and x.v.Color formats, neither of which are supported by Blu-Ray (which is 8-bit). Some Blu-Ray players will upsample to support these, but then you need a TV that supports them as well. And if your TV supports them, it can probably upsample anyway.

So bottom line is, 1.3 is pointless right now. If the price is more than $0.01 higher than a 1.2 cable you find, get the 1.2.
