Component cables must be in stock

[fndngemo]

Ordered my component cables from Nintendo's online store on Monday, just got them about an hour ago. Looks like they aren't backordered anymore.

Damn, i ordered them monday too, but on the nintendo page it still says Preparing Order... i'm in Canada

Really?

Dang...that's nuts! You must live close to WA or something. I ordered mine on 11/22 and the UPS tracking says they should be delivered tomorrow 12/7.

I live in Ohio, but I paid for overnight shipping. I was just surprised they shipped as soon as they did. I assumed they were at the very least still in the process of shipping out the pre-orders, so I figured I was in for a little wait.

Any idea when BestBuy or EB games will get the cables. Im in Canada, EB games said Dec 1st then moved it to the 5th then the 12th now they said before christmas. I have them pre ordered with EB .. but if i can get them faster from Nintendo i so would.

I ordered mine from Nintendo yesterday. It says they were shipped today, second day air. Hopefully, I'll get it on Friday (I like in NYC).

I got an email last night saying that the mad catz store has component cables in stock for 19.99.

For those of you that got them.... Was it worth it?? I have a SD TV, I don't know if you guys have HD TV's, but was it worth it to get these cables...

I have an HDTV, haven't gotten my cables yet (they come today), but based on these comparisons:

I think it'll be worth it.

Now for you, since you have an SDTV, you won't see this dramatic difference. You will, however notice a better picture quality (better colors and eliminate dot-crawl) if you step up to S-Video, but the difference between S-Video and Component won't be that much on an SDTV.

I would suggest getting the component cable anyways since it's not that much more expensive than S-video, plus you'll be future-proofed in case you ever get an HDTV.

Yea i'm trying to save the s-video input for whenever the hell I get a PS3 :mad2: :incazzato: :arf:

So I'll use component for the Wii
