Man i have been looking forever, I really wanted one since launch. I never thought it was going to be next to impossible to pick one up. I picked up Zelda and Super Paper mario. Looking forward to RE4  (never played it believe it or not)Hopefully by this weekend I can get some VC games too. My girlfriend is driving home with it right now! Im still stuck at work:(

Cant wait to hook it up. Anywayz I have a LCD that im planning to hook the wii up to. Now I know im going to need those HD cables but is there a particular type I need? I mean does Nintendo make an official one or are they all the same?

Thanks!

i think they're pretty much all the same dude..i bought the 30 dollar cables that definitely aren't "official" but they still look exactly the same as the other ones ( a friend of mine has them) and im running it through a 60" mitsubishi rear projection, and it looks amazing..if you want official ones, and don't mind spending the extra 20-30 bucks, go for it, but the 30 dollar cables that i bought work just fine. congrats on that wii, first thing you should do is play wii sports...so good!

First party ones are the good ones. They were 30 bucks US online when I got them. I don't know what it costs now.

buy the Nintendo HD cables... do NOT get the third party ones, I bought 3rd party cables way back before Nintendo repeased HD cables and I have to say I wish I just waited, not only did the 3rd party ones cost $20 more, but also they dont work right, somtimes there are big horizontal lines that scroll upward on the screen...  : (

 

buy the Nintendo brand of HD cables

All cables are fine, just don't get MadCatz. That's the only brand that's gotten a lot of flak so far.

My Intec cables work fine.
