4 out of 5 stars Works as intended   January 6, 2009
The cables work just fine for what they are meant to do. I did not see any difference in video quality going from 480i to 480p, nor did I expect to see any.


3 out of 5 stars I wish it worked   January 1, 2009
My Wii seems unable to provide a Component image through to the set. This is the first cable problem I've encountered with any of my products.

I've read on other sites, that some Wii's seem to have a hardware difficulty with Component cables. Unfortunately mine appears to be one of them.

I don't fault Amazon, or Nyko for the problem with my Wii. Thus my 3 star review, not good or bad with respect to the product. However, I do fault them for not posting a warning that there are Wii's which may be unable to use these cables.

With any luck this will help warn others who may own older Wii's that there could be problems using this cable. I strongly advise a search prior to purchasing this (or ANY component) cable.



5 out of 5 stars Wii HD Link cable   December 29, 2008
Works great and at a great price. I need to buy a second one for my other Wii console.


4 out of 5 stars Great but...   December 27, 2008
Still getting use to the product. The price is nice on this item. It seems to improve the quality of the image. Hard to tell sometimes. But overall it's seems worth having.


5 out of 5 stars Way cheaper than you will pay at any store...   December 17, 2008

I was recently given a Wii for my birthday and immediately went looking for the HD cable to go with my plasma TV. Cables at discount and electronics stores were running around $50 - way overpriced, much like HDMI cables. I knew better than to pay that much and checked Amazon. Luckily, I found this cable for much cheaper. I only have a couple basic games, so I can't say that the HD difference is overwhelming BUT I do notice a difference. I think the difference will be more pronounced with some of the newer games. While it is a slight difference, I will say it was worth the price of the cable.

I would always suggest ordering specialty HD and HDMI cables from places like Amazon. The cables available at the retail stores are a total rip-off.
