Component cable
Has anyone seen a component cable in store yet? Nintendo or other brand?

Curious to see how much of a difference it makes.

What's the difference between Nintendo's component cables and third party cables? Better quality? Flashier set-up?
Same case with the SD cards... =\

Here is a site comparing composite vs. component cables on the Wii:

Almost the same but the component cables look sharper.

I believe they should be all the same. It's just Nintendo cables are pretty much out of stock everywhere...

there is no difference between nintendo's and 3rd party's component cables.....

component cable is component cable
composite cable is composite cable

nothing to do with being 3rd party component or nintendo component cables



component cable is your red blue green cables that is able to transmit into HD quality

composite cable is your old ass white yellow red cables that transmit to s-video etc. things like what your old VCR does

As of this morning 8:45 AM EST Nintendo.com announced that they were now shipping the component cables on backorder and that they are starting to take new orders. They are $29.99 to order them directly from Nintendo. Inside sources tell me that Best Buy will be the first retail chain to receive the component cables within the week before the other stores will receive their initial shipment. Those wanting to purchase from a brick and mortar store stand a better chance trying Best Buy first.

Hahah. Imagine if someone actually bought it.. That would be awful!

I can't even believe that some people price things to be so high. Do they actually think that someone would pay 1 grand instead of waiting a few weeks to get a $30 cable? xP

I Still remember when composite cables were the better quality ones and most tv's had either a coax connection or 2 screws that you had to connect a coax adapter to.

That's right, screws on the TV...I'm not even that old!
