Any cable that advertises support for 1080p is a highspeed cable. As I mentioned before, the reason you're not supposed to advertise HDMI cables as a certain HDMI revision (IE: 1.3a or 1.4) is because of exactly this confusion. The specs you are citing are limits of 1.3a devices, not a highspeed cable which is just tested to operate at a certain frequency, not certain resolutions or features. That same cable connected to a device with HDMI 1.4 ports can do 4K resolutions & 3D.
you could probably just fire up the PS4 (Free) web browser and use that to play fantasy football as well...save yourself $100 up front, and $10 per year...and get the more powerful gaming console...
If there are no hardware failures due to shitty heat management than so be it. I'll take a power brick and fan the size of my face that runs silent any day.

No intention of buying an Xbox here, doesn't interest me - but will give them credit where it's due, the Xbox One hardware design is apparently very quiet / cool.
