It's a controller not a M4 assault rifle dude, you have to be gentle with it. It made to be used roughly but not abused.iMacBot

Nothing about the Ps3 controller is meant to be used rough. It feels like i could snap it into with my hands.

My tv set is widescreen *sony XBR970*, i have the component cables, i have the wii set to 16:9. Yes the format does change shape. But according to my television it is not in 16:9. It still shows that the wii is outputting 4:3 at 480P, hence the reason that i can tell the wii is not outputing in 16:9. Back to the dvd analogy, if the dvd is masterd in widescreen my tv will show that it is displaying 16:9. Zelda is supposed to be 16:9 but the game is not being displayed in widescreen. I will call nintendo and get this matter resolved

Edit - Zelda is being displayed in widescreen, but the picture does not look correct it is stretched. The wii menu is also stretched, and this shouldnt be happening if the wii is actually outputting in widescreen.

Not to be a pain in the keister but you went and put the Wii on widescreen right? It's not your TV trying to alter the image to fit?Jaysonguy

Read the original post, but just to save you the time. Yes i did

The wiii will output 16:9. Thing is not all widescreen tvs display 16:9 the same way often it is 16:8 or 16:10. Heck widescreen games of the past gen did the same thing people just didn't really notice it.

i can assure you that my set is 16:9 ratio, and i can also assure that my wii is not outputting in 16:9, its streching the picture as the previous poster has noted.
