I have a question for you Wii guys. I just got a Wii and it came with a composite cable. They sell a component cable for $20.00, but it looks okay for a game when run thru my SIR TS-165 so I'm guessing it gets upscaled to HD thru it. What advantage will the component cable have? The graphics are very basic, so would it be worth it?

I believe the add on cable for the Wii will only take it up to 480p.

Yeah, I'd go for the Monoprice cable. It's true the Wii is only 480p, but 480p over component is far superior in PQ to 480i over composite. I'd definitely give a component cable a try.

I found this cable at Monoprice for $3.52!
I added it to a bunch of other stuff and it will be here tomorrow. I love Monoprice.
