People saying the HDMI cable in the package of the PS4 is bad. Is that true? Will a better HDMi improve the picture quality?

It's not bad but in the beginning they were faulty...

A more expensive HDMI cable will never increase picture quality ;)

Right, because it is DIGITAL, a crappy one might have bandwidth/handshaking problems though, but probably the only real problem will be how much earlier will break if you disconnect and move it frequently. Gold plated is useless IMO. It's not component (YPbPr) (analog HD cable).

 

Well, it is digital but that doesn't mean that the picture is stored in one bit. Of course you can have problems on the way from device to TV but usually people don't have big coils in their living room to interfer with the signals in the hdmi cable ;)
