Lock this if this has already been threaded, I couldn't find it anywhere so I dunno.

Wii Hands-On: Hardware, Wii Channels, and Virtual Console - Features at GameSpot

Mouseover the picture to see the same shot with a component cable.

Quality is so much better with component cable. I can't wait to get one.

Big difference in Zelda. Not so much in Tony Hawk.

Ya, from what I was told by Best Buy, they should get the React brand component cables in stock sometime later this week or during the weekend.

I'm only playing on a small TV anyway so the difference will hardly be noticeable for me. If I did have a nice big HDTV then by all means I would definataly buy the component cables, the difference is much bigger than what I was expecting.

I agree man, on my TV its essential...... very essential.... I hate that I can pick apart detail.

I will admit, the composite looks surprisingly alright....but I know it looks 10 times better @ 480p.... more color, more detail....

WTF are these?

Best Buy has;

React Brand Component Cables(They have had these on there for a while): $24.99

React - Component Cable for Nintendo Wii - RTWII01

Griffin Brand Component Cables: $59.99

Griffin - Component Video Cable for Nintendo Wii - PSC111

Wow, I really hope the price for the griffin cables is a misprint, because wtf would pay $60 for a component cable? I remember buying a digital audio monster brand cable when digital audio cables first came out for like only 35. I could buy a 6 Ft fibre cable for half of that.

People think the more they spend on cables, the better it is. I had a guy tell me at best buy yesterday that monster is worth the money and other cables cant compare. I think that comment actually made me stupider for hearing it.
