    Finally getting to hook my Wii up to my HD tv and i wanted to know if any one knows if it is really worth buying the licensed Nintendo cables over third party cables off ebay and what i should be looking for etc etc

    Thanks

    *LOL* I doubt you should try building your own cables. The third party cables should be every bit as good as the Nintendo Brand cables. I haven't heard of any 3rd party cables causing problems so I say give it a go. Still as a precaution make sure you buy them at a major electronic or department store where you can take them back if you have problems.

    I ended up getting mine from a reputable guy on ebay. Paid a total of 6 bucks. That was two months ago and the cables haven't given me any trouble. Progressive scan (480p) games on a big hdtv look good.
    Others (like Wii sports) will have some jagged edges, but better color.

    lol

    If I'm not here, I'm probably quietly crying in my room, mourning the loss of the greatest wii podcast ever, along with the death of such a friendly community.
