Wii component cable

[Yoshimax]

How can they **** up so much with a cable? Its a cable ffs

They're not this is probably pretty normal the problem is the high concentration of picture quality whores on here who can't use compo****e.

Myself included 8)

Surely Mad Catz are going to release a cable? It doesn't HAVE to be an official Nintendo one. It's not like it's going to be any better quality.

I'd forgotten about that - anyone taking orders for the MC Components at the moment?

[gibbon]

No its a **** up definitely. They werent even going to sell them in stores until a couple of weeks before launch remeber. Component is pretty much like RGB scart for over there regardless of new flashy HDTV. I never even saw a S-Video cable either. Its like as part of their stance against going HDTV they've just decided to be stubborn buggers with anything remotely connected to it, even a cable.

I have one on order at play-asia.com and nothing on yesasia.com so any other suggestion for alternative backup.

[Lyris]

That's right, Nintendo of America aren't even selling the Wii S-Video cable are they?
What's going on with that? A lot of US TVs still have S-Video as their highest quality input.

I'm just glad composite looks half-decent on my display.

If I were makers of home cinema cables (such as Ixos), I would start making wii component cables to sell.

Have anyone checked Monster to see if there is one from them ?

[Lyris]

Yeah, same here - I'll be able to stand it until I get my Component cable.
At least I actually know I'm getting a Wii!

3rd party cables available to preorder here: http://superufo.com/product_html/Nin...ent_Cable.html Don't know if they're any good though.

Just got the Game email too

Has anyone who's ordered an RGB Scart had a similar email or not?

Ditto.

Some enterprising soul on Ebay has already started making his own and is selling them for only ?30 delivered.

edit: make that, starting at ?30

Had my pre-order in at Amazon.co.uk for some time - est is still the same. Oh I can hold out hope that its only GAME affected....

Similar, not identical:

As you may already be aware, the UK release date for Wii RGB Cable has changed to 15-Dec-2006. Changes to release dates are relatively common in the videogames industry and are unfortunately beyond our control.

Stroller.

[reektan]

so all the European cables are being shipped to fill the USA orders. And we're taking over THEIR pre order... sucks to be us.
