Wii: 480i vs 480p.. results: spend $6.75 for a world of difference.

[slim150]

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.

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.

Check out the difference:

Neat huh!

[S!X]

That's one hell of an improvement!

[Shiranai_Baka]

That video didn't help at all, it was sooo CAM quality hahaha.

Edit: Have you ever bought anything off of that site?

[slim150]

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

[SirGray]

Damn if only I had an hdtv. :'(

[h20]

THX for the info on the discounted component cables :D Im going to order some this weekend from this site

[Busyman™]

Damn if only I had an hdtv. :'(

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

[Cheese]

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.

[silent h3ro]

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

[Shiranai_Baka]

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*

[Tokeman]

well I notice a difference in the pics, and I will be buying the cables, so thanks for the difference.
Maybe you just need a better monitor or some glasses to see the difference?

I don't see a difference either besides a different color on one pic.

Or maybe there is next to fuck-all difference.

There's a large, very noticeable difference between the pictures. Id seriously consider getting an eyesight test if you cant easily tell them apart.

At first glance it is not easy to tell them apart.

I do see a slight difference in sharpness. You mainly can see it in the first set of pics on the wood ladder.

It's nothing to write home about though. It is not a "blow me away" improvement.

I didn't notice a difference on Wii Sports but that has neutered graphics anyway. There aren't rich textures or anything.

Nah, I can see the difference I just reckon that it is fuck-all. Certainly not "a world of difference".

If someone bought me the cables and fixed it into the back of my TV for me then I might consider using it for that amazing improvement on the Wii's graphics. Maybe.

[Shiranai_Baka]

Well the cable is around $7.

By the way, I should be able to notice the difference since I'm playing it on my dell 24" (1920x1200 resolution) so it should be sharper than the composite.
