Component Cables?

Cyno01 · 27-October-06, 10:20 PM

Ok, so i read the other night that the Wii is only shipping with composite cables, no big deal, its to be expected. BUT, theyre only selling the component cables online to avoid buyer confusion. So does anybody know where the hell i can order some Wii component cables so ill have them on the 17th in time for launch on the 19th?

I'm sure you'll also be able to buy them from the Nintendo store at store.nintendo.com

Cyno01 · 28-October-06, 02:29 AM

Yes, but when? The reviews on EB games are confusing and idiotic... I hope nintendo.com has these before launch, otherwise im gonna be pissed.

Found this on the net for you Cyno...

Nintendo only selling component cables online

EDIT: NVM....Gamecube component cables wont work...you'll have to buy the Wii ones for 29.99, and who knowws if you'll be able to buy them before the Wii comes out...or online on the day...

I'm a little confused. What exactly is the Wii shipping with and why is it an issue?

He wants component cables for the Wii.

The Wii will come packaged with standard video cables (yellow video, and then red and white audio cables).

Component cables are seperated green, blue, and red video cables that allow for a much cleaner, clearer picture on a HDTV or a Standard Def TV w/ component inputs.

basically, if you have a HDTV, without the component cables, the Wii will look like trash...like most standard def stuff does on a HDTV.

Why can't we call component cables "HD cables"?

Who came up with this somewhat complicated system... makes no sense...

Because they aren't HD cables, lol. A standard definition TV can have component inputs, but it's still not HD (my wife and my JVC television in our bedroom is like this)

Cyno01 -

BTW, you're in luck. NIntendo will be releasing component cables in retail outlets when the Wii launches, no need to order them online

Cyno01 · 13-November-06, 11:59 PM

Nintendos store still doesnt have these. I know that some retailers are getting them in, but theyre not on the mod at mine, so id have to go to the next town once the stores reopen at the normal time sunday morning to get the cables...
