if you have a big screen, it is worth getting a component cable for the wii.

Some games like resident evil and mario galaxy look amazing with a component cable but very mediocre with the included composite cable.

it's only £15 for a nintendo component cable so i'd say go for that. all the new game releases support component cable so will look much better on a large screen.

If you have a small tv, i'd say there's no point at all..

We have a 32" HD LCD. Our DVD player is using DVI. He is always buying gold connectors and expensive cales for everything, so I will let him decide what cables he wants!

Cheers anyway!

Or they have made a BIG mistake!

I reckon its genuine availability

Yesterday there were several runours on different forums from supposed employees that Argos would be getting a load in today.

We'll see if mine turns up on monday.

ok, i'd say get the component cable.

the wii doesnt support higher resolutions than 480p (technically not HD..a bit complicated though) so im afraid component is the best you can get for the wii.

For a good two player experience an extra Wiimote and Nunchuk about £45 should be enough, get an extra Wiimote first about £30.

Have heard alot about wii play - don't I need one of those or have I already got one! sorry I'm not normally thick but not had chnce to research these at all - daughter went to a friends house the other day and came home to announce all she wanted for xmas was a wee - (my 5 year old looked confused at this point! lol) so have had about 3 days to research and then they came into stock... any advice would be much appreciated!

Toys R Us are giving away a free £10 Nintendo voucher when you spend over £50 on Nintendo Games or Accessories so I suppose I could get the component cable for £5, if I get Mario Galaxy and a Nunchuck (or Play if they have it!)

Thanks

Right my quest has now ended, so unless someone else asks me to find them a Wii - I am saying goodbye to this thread

Thanks to everyone for helping me get a Wii for RRP!

Hope eveyone gets the deal they want!

If, you've bought from argos today, the bundle does not include a second remote. It includes 1 remote & the nunchuck attachment. Not many bundle deals on offer come with a spare remote, as the stores know you will buy one anyway.

Wii Play is good value, as you get a game & remote for about £5 more than a remote on its own. Wii play does seem hard to come by when large stocks of the wii become available.

cheers

I managed to speak to a web advisor for Argos and she told me that the emails get sent in order of delivery date and she also confirm that you get a £10 gift voucher sent separately as the order is over £100, I will believe when I see it!

Believe it, mine voucher turned up about 10 days after the Wii :T

Argos keep showing availability but you can't order one, I missed the Amazon stock due to my little boy being sick!
