1 Star DO NOT BUY
I ordered this last week. Shipping was extreemely quick. I was very satisfied with the quick delivery. But when I opened the package and attempted to use the cable, it did not work AT ALL! Do not buy, this was the worst purchase I’ve ever made. Luckily I only lost about $5 or so. DO NOT BUY!!
5 Stars Great Buy!
Same cable as one sold in the retail stores, BUT at $20-$30 less. Really improves the Wii picture!
4 Stars Good product, small (but noticeable) difference
I bought this to play Super Mario Galaxy on my 32″ 720p HDTV. The difference over composite is noticeable, but not by much. This is due to the fact that the video is being output in 480p over 480i, as opposed to 1080p over 480i. This is not the cable’s fault, though, but it is something for the buyer to keep in mind.
For the quality/build of this product vs its price I HIGHLY recommend it. It is a great value and the output is identical to the Official cables offered by Nintendo. I would say to buy these IF AND ONLY IF you really want to upgrade. I am glad that I did but if you were to use composite it wouldn’t be so horrible.
As for the reviews about the jaggedness, I have to say that what they say is true, but they greatly exaggerate the noticeability (I know, that’s not a word). Again, you’re dealing with a system that was designed for output below true High Definition so the games were designed to be run in this lower format. The fact that jagged edges appear is just a small consequence of this. However, from my experiences I can say that the edges to not detract from the games whatsoever and are only noticeable when looking for them.
So to recap, this product works just as well as the Official product. However, overall the idea of component Wii cables is something that is more of a novelty than a true necessity. With that in mind, the price and quality of this product are tough to match, so based on this I recommend this product to anyone who has a Wii and an HDTV.
2 Stars Cable Has Issues
I bought this cable because it was cheap (although with shipping and handling the cable is really around $10) and you do get what you pay for in terms of quality. The cable worked alright for the most part, but every so often the picture would cut out and I would be left with a black screen for about 2 sec. Very frustrating during an intense game of Super Smash Bros. Brawl. It irritated me enough that I went out and had to buy Nintendo’s component cables and I haven’t had one problem with them. My advice: put the ten dollars you’d spend on these cables towards durable and quality cables like Nintendos.
5 Stars Best price option
Price was the best feature. Best buy price $40 and Walmart price $20. Did the same job for $6 including shipping.
