Playing your Wii on a nice television makes the playing experience so much better than that cheap thing you found in the dumpster, but unfortunately you're stuck in blur city with the included composite cables. Component cables make the whole experience look a lot better, and just yesterday I picked up a set from Best Buy. I was going to make a post proclaiming that you could in fact find Wii component cables at Best Buy, until today I saw a post over at Gizmodo that did me one better: they list all the places to find them, as well as what you'll pay. Take a look:
* Wii Component Cables [PlayAsia - $9]
* Mad Catz Component Cables [Mad Catz - $19]
* Official Component Cables [Amazon - $19]
* Nintendo Wii Component Cables [Nintendo - $29]
* EBGames Component Cables [EBGames - $49]
* React Component Cables [Best Buy - $24]
* Griffin Component Cables [Best Buy - $59!]
* ASiD Component Cables [Frys - $39]
* Blaze Component Cables - $10 (Out of stock) [Superufo]
* Psyclone Component Cables [Circuit City - $59!]
That's an impressive list, and I'd like to give a lot of thanks to them for putting this together. I did, however, check for the React cables on Best Buy's website, and they said that not only were they sold out, but that local pickup was unavailable. I then went to my local store and there they were. It just goes to show that sometimes you have to brave brick and mortar stores to get what you want.
