Wii - Technical Questions

There's no reason that component would give a better image than RGB. The YPbPr signals are simply calculated from the RGB values.

Everyone thinks that component cables are better, but then most games consoles seem to be US-centric. They've never heard of RGB in america.

This also seems to be why the take up of HDTV is much higher over there since their original signals are terrible.

in this particular instance there is a reason as to why component will give a better picture than RGB. 480p isn't supported over RGB.

I can confirm that all the cables you`ll need will be in the box. They will work if you have a scart or yellow red and white phono sockets.

Get a second controller if you can as it will save you swapping the sweaty controller over every 30 seconds. If you want to play boxing you`ll need a second controller and numchuck too.

Happy gaming

30 seconds? I play on my Wii for an hour or so and hardly wipe my hands at all.

Wii component cables are in short supply at the moment. I was lucky in that I managed to find the last one (it was a 3rd party one, not an official part) in my local area.

Well I'll be jiggered if I'm paying £20 for the "offical" component cable, quite apart from the fact there are none anywhere to be ordered. I'd make my own if I could get the Wii plug, I already have cable and RCAs.

As It's pretty difficult to make a bad component cable, I've ordered one from play-asia for under £7 delivered.

They say they'll be in stock on the 20th, so I guess it'll turn up early in the new year. I'll cope with composite until then.

Anyone heard anything firm on the rumour of the free download of Wii Opera web browser starting on the 23rd December?
