    Wii component cables cost about $30+ at most game stores. But here is a good site where you can get them for just $6.75 shipped.

    https://www.kaidomain.com/WEBUI/Prod...px?TranID=1293

    If you are familiar with my R4DS thread, this site is very similar to DealExtreme. Actually I think at one point they were partners. Anyways Its not a scam site, just from China.


    480i vs 480p

    Check out the difference:

    480i (with composite cables)


    480p (with component cables)




    480i (with composite cables)


    480p (with component cables)



    Here is a video that also shows it:

    I've bought stuff of its sister site dealextreme. They have the same cables for a bit more.

    Why? The rip-off which is the Wii doesn't do HD.

    I can't really notice much difference in those pictures, just another case of paying out for a marginally better picture. The Wii looks fine on my HDTV with just the scart cable.

    I would pay $6.75 for it to look that much better. Nice find, again, slim150. Although I don't have a Wii and don't plan on buying one.

    Well I didn't buy it from there, I bought it on amazon for 1cent plus 7.99 shipping (Lol...) since amazon is a more trustworthy place.
    The owner of that site has gmail as his frickin contact email.. wtf is that?

    This component cable better be worth it slim! or its your ass on the line!! *shakes the index finger up*
