Want an official component cable for Wii?! Nintendo says you don' t and so will only sell them online.

F**KERS!

Oh, and Gamecube component cables aren' t compatible either so if you want to ply on a HDTV you' ll need to spend $30 on the Wii component cable...

Wii should include component cables, never mind having to buy them seperately. Wii' s strength is its price point and if you have to buy all these fucking neccessities with it, people are going to turn away from the little console that could.

Even if you don' t have a HD TV, if its relatively modern you can still get 480p with component. 480p is pretty lame compared to 720p but 480i simply looks like shit, I' ll never play another videogame in 480i.

On a side note, majik please stop calling yourself " King Majik" , it makes you look like an ass. It was funny the first time but now you' re just embarrassing yourself.

yea they really should release a component cable, at least as an option to pre-order. Thing is I' ve pre-ordered a Wii, and at the moment I' ve got nowhere to plug it in! Need to downgrade my setup! :P

What annoyed me more about pre-ordering was that I wanted a second controller, and I had to buy the nunchuck and the remote separately, costing me around £45 extra! The games aren' t cheap either, so altogether I' m still spending almost ' 360 levels' of cash.

It' s definitely not priced at a mainstream level imo, but that will definitely change as they bring the price down.

You can still use composit cables with your HD TV. Right where your Component cabels go, except that instead of having three plugs for video you only have one.

Have you ever tried using composite cables for a console on a HDTV? It looks worse than on an SDTV.

Yeah but thats not the cables, its the resolution. 480i looks like shit on a HD TV, especially when you' re used to 480p+.

And you can only get 480p through component so using Wii' s composite cables on a HDTV would result in an awful picture. They really should be shipping them with the console. They did this with the Gamecube too which i never understood.

Yeah, that' s dissapointing. You' d think that they' d give you everything you' d need for your setup. They were pushing the low price point pretty hard, but if you have to pay the extra 30-40 whatever, you' re getting up into the 360-core range there.

That' s pathetic. 480i through component is a huge inprovement over composite at the same resolution, just like RGB scart over composite.

Just why they' d do this is beyond me, on a good SD CRT 480i still looks great in RGB.

Tsk! Damnit Ninendo, I thought we had a good thing going on. I hate everything that needs to be bought extra, that' s why I bought Premium and also why I like the and dislike the Ps3.

Why do you want the Wii in Hd anyway?
Change is inevitable. Except from a vending machine.

Viva La Revolution! erm, I mean Viva La Wii!
