Why couldn't Nintendo just use the same old cable they had with the Gamecube and just have two phono outs for the audio on the console? They've shot themselves in the foot worldwide with this shortage.

It was an overly complicated way of doing it, they managed to obtain a YPbPr signal (which is analogue) from the the Digital AV (which is obviously digital) by putting a Digital-to-Analogue converter in the cable (which was hackable to do RGB, hence those Saurian Scart and VGA cables).Originally posted by Bada Bing!
As Lyris said, the Component support on the GC was very much 'bolted on'.
In the long run, the new way is more efficient.Comment

Although I agree with you I don't understand why you say they have shot themselves in the foot, as far as I know it hasn't stopped anyone buying a Wii and we'll all buy the cables as soon as we can. Its just a higher level of demand than they probably expected.Originally posted by Bada Bing!Comment

In terms of publicity it's very poor, and dampens what was otherwise a stellar launch, IMO.Originally posted by Blair

My component cable is still waiting at PA to come in, but at least my remote is being prepared...Lie with passion and be forever damned...Comment

I got my cable today - a lot of differance, can actually see all the textures clearily. When you look at Zelda - it does make a differance, however its not as profound as I had hoped. At the very least, any future games for the wii are going to look great.Comment

Ditto.Originally posted by Angelo
The difference isn't as huge as I'd expected, but it does look clearly better plus GameCube games come up a treat. Really pleased with this for a third party cable.Comment

Sorry for repeating myself but are all games (on NTSC and PAL consoles) compatible with 480p?Comment
