i bought a 360 vga cable so i can put my wii in the component spot, and i even think the 360 looks better with vga.

hmmm...., slightly off topic, but I wonder if there will be a way to make a vga cable for the Wii

that would be pretty cool, there is component so I don't see any reason why it isn't possible, aren't homebrew VGA cables for the xbox using component output points on the mobo and a vid sync seporator to work?

I'll try to make an adaptor so that you can plug component imputs and have it wired along with a vid sync seporator to get a vga output

I'm going to review the VGA mods for the xbox

I actually placed an order on Nintendo.com for some component cables. I knew it was backordered, but I was hoping in the back of my mind for them to put it out rather quick. And sure enough during the check out process I got something along the lines of, "This product will not ship out until the week of December 18."

Well, I guess we got lucky. It was shipped out yesterday.

It did not ship yesterday. Nintendo created a UPS tracking number for it. It will probaley ship (leave Nintendo) tomorrow. I ordered a set on Thursday and Saturday it popped up as "shipped" on my order status page. Our tracking numbers should work by tomorrow night.

You and I should have our cables by the end of the week. Luckily I got a replacement Wii today for the one I sold to my grandfather. I will be playing Zelda in 480p this weekend that's for sure.

Then the Nintendo customer service rep lied to me (go figure). The person I talked to said they don't actually ship anything out on the weekend.

Congrats

They must have gotten more than expected they removed the dec. 18 date off the site

How about those that lack component inputs in our TV's? Are there S-Video cables available, and how will those compare? I know it helped my xbox a little. :\

Hey,

These cables are available again at store.nintendo.com $29.95 for those interested.

I was just poking around and Circuitcity.com has the Psyclone Component cables for sale... $60 so they're a bit steep but probably the best quality cables you can get for the console.

They even had them for pickup at my local store.

$60 is too much for me, I'll wait until I can buy a $30 set at a store down the street

mrRobinson · « **Reply #13 on:** December 12, 2006, 12:27:00 PM »

I picked up the $60 as I couldn't wait anymore. I must say the quality of those cables is excellent. up there with phoenix gold, better cables, etc. I doubt I would notice much of a difference with $30 cables though beyond the improvement from composite to component itself.
