Wii component cable

[Garny]

Looks like ill be letting this sit in its box until i can get hold of a decent cable then. What a complete balls up Nintendo

It may just be me being a bit anal but this has really taken the edge of the Wii launch for me. I'm happy to play wii sports through composite but if Zelda is as good as its meant to me there's no way I'm playin it till I get a decent picture sorted out!

NM there is always RGB Scart till then. That should look like component in 480i.

My Gameplay order still says that shipment of the cable is due on the 6th or 7th.

Has anyone contacted Gamestation to see if their supplies will be affected?

Thats what i would have gone for as a stop gap, but thats been put back to the 15th of December

I am honestly considering doing more soldering practice over the next few days

It's crossed my mind a few times too, the problem being I haven't done anything like that for so long I'd probably end up soldering the cat to the kitchen worktop.

well I caved in - even though my Wii hasnt even arrived yet - I paid $124.50 for a component lead - composite is a horrible thought!

[MoFo2]

Excuse me for my "stupidness" but what is the difference between a $124 component lead and a $30 component lead?

[Lyris]

Zero!

The difference is if you order the one on playasia it won't come until Jan because loads of people have ordered.

[MoFo2]

Yeah, I was just unsure if the picture became almost $100 better.. but then again I don't have much knowledge about these things.

Edit: How about the one at Super Ufo for $6.71?

[Shozuki]

yup exactly, im expecting my Wii to arrive any day now - and as I didnt order early enough - i'll have finished Zelda before my cable arrives!

I cant have that!

[MoFo2]

Also Gamechoiceclub has the official one for about $25: http://www.gamechoiceclub.com/naviga...roduct_id=9231

You're kidding, right?

I ordered mine on November 19... here's hoping...
