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

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.

it has im pretty sure, i might have seen it somewhere else... anyway nice find, there's a big difference

 

[yarsmang]

Yeah man, 480p is sweet...... Need those cables man!

 

[Lethal]

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

nice, does any1 know if the scart cable for uk (rgb) will have any improvement than the cables supplied?

 

[Avais100]

is there any way to buy component cables from shops or do you have to buy them online because my mums scared of using her credit card online.

 

[Inspire]

Best Buy is supposed to be carrying them starting this weekend, I think.

 

[vagrant]

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.

Whoo hooo, got my tracking # for mine.... 480p PIMPIN... now I can finally play Zelda

 

[ShawnDub]

Grr.....it makes me not wanna play Zelda until i get my freakin' componet cable!!!

 

[yarsmang]

YESS! I haven't even had Zelda in my Wii yet..... been waiting for component.... need component!

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.

 

[yarsmang]

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.

 

[yarsmang]

Yeah man...

Nintendo's 29.99
Mad Catz (gamestop,ebgames) 59.99
Circuit City's 59.99
react 24.95
other **** brand by best buy 59.99

I don't know what kinda crack they are smoking.... I'd never pay 59.99
