I got a noname set at circuit shitty for $20 and they make a noticable difference to me on a 42" plasma on every game.

I tried to squish the bug in your signature >.<

i'd rather drive to a local store and buy them upfront and get them the same day. Any ideas? best buy?

When I bought my cables I went to Best Buy and yeah they had some S-Video ones too. You can also go to Gamestop or EBGames, they should have them.
Check the availability for Gamestop here:

Don't pay more than 20$ for them. I had to look around for quite a while to find some that weren't overpriced. I checked just about every store selling games before finding them at a place called "Game Crazy"

Svideo is a great improvement over composite. Don't take my word for it though, the wikipedia article on svideo explains it well. Here is the specific section to read http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Svideo#Overview

Svideo is nearly equal to interlaced component in regards to picture sharpness
Thrillseeker needs new glasses.

I only made that comment on the difference between s-video and composite for the Wii based on what another user had said, not from personal experience. I know that the s-video cable we use on our smaller tv made a good difference over composite with the dvd player.

Here's the cables I have:

no name brand from this website: http://www.ledshoppe.com/Product/ts/TS3003.htm
they're 15 bucks, free shipping, excellent quality (better than nintendo's crap cables)

I found this site you can pay less

^^^^That's 13 + shipping right, so wouldn't it be around the same as what he paid? (15)

For about 6 more dollars you could have had it instantly and it would have been a name brand.
