    Thanks for clarifying that :smile: unfortunately though I have received the cable today and it wasn't what I was expecting at all, it's not VGA as it has been suggested to be by a couple of sources and it's not DVI either, apperently from what I could research online it's "DFP" ? :confused: there doesn't seem to be a port for it on the bacl on my HDTV for it in any case like I was expecting there to be.

     

    The only way I could think of in order to get it to work would be to use the HDMI / DVI in port, which would involve purchasing a HDMI to DVI cable and then a DVI to DFP converter which might not even work and will most likely degrade the signal in the process I guess.

     

    *sigh* looks like £20 wasted :nono: my only other option now is to get a component cable, except my TV only has one component input which is taken

     

    up by my 360, so I would need to buy a splitter to get two inputs which again would most likely degrade the signal, or I could use VGA for my 360 but I've heard that leads to colour bleeding, dk if thats true though.

     

    Arrrgggh! why can't there just be one Uber cable with all possible connections for the Wii? stupid question I know as it's not really viable but I am slightly annoyed by this, I just want to play Zelda in better picture quality then composite / scart, even though it looks fine I know it could look better with component. meh... *rant over* :hmm:

     

    buy this to sort your component connect problems

    i have it works fine, it darkens the 360 picture by a bit (it makes it look better)but DOES NOT degrade the 360 pic quality, then u have 4 more spaere component slots

    Hi all,

    Just wondering if anyone's seen this, for sale on Amazon (among other sites). I can't post links yet, but just search for "Joytech power station" on Amazon and it'll come up.

    It's a rechargeable batterry pack/charger for the Wii-mote - does anyone have any experience of using this? If so, what do you think of it? How long does it last between charges, and will it take regular recharges without losing battery life? Thanks for any advice, as I'm very tempted to get one of these!

     

    it ain't out yet

    DEAL OF THE CENTURY

     

    http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=001&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=110064905274&rd=1&rd=1

     

    this one of the best SD card you can get, and its at a awesome Price of £32.99 (inc P&P) RRP £50 - 60, it much more effective then the "gaming" wii card, which realistically is a standard generic sandisk sd card painted white, however the Sandisk EXTREME 3 2gb has a read and write speed of 20mb per second awesome

     

    all features explained here

    Launch day has come and has almost gone. Some of you were left feeling disappointed, whilst some of you are rejoicing with your new consoles.

     

    So, how did your retailer pull through? Did Game leave you out in the cold? Were you part of the crew who were shafted by Gameplay? Was WoolWorthes your saving grace?

     

    Talk about it here.

     

    well my experience with curry's (online) was fantastic, apart from the 10% discount and free delivery, i was told i would get the console 5 days after launch but low and behold on launch day it arrived, wow simply awesome now i know who i will be pre ordering my PS3 from and hopefully there will be another discount code posted

    some amusement while where waiting

     

    "Heba Elgamal, who had been camping outside the store in an alley for two days, was first in line for a console at the HMV store, and it was presented to him by Ian Wright. Elgamal bought The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess with his purchase, and Wright asked him if Zelda was a fighting game--which didn't go down well with the crowd."

     

    ahh bless him

    "Everything except component cables, any idea when they'll be getting em' Pyxis?"

     

    Some had theirs despatched today, a few will get theres before christmas, but I think that the vast majority of people will have to wait until January and beyond. They are more popular than the RGB cables...although its not as if we have had enough of those either....ahhhh. Is this really Nintendo or Microsoft we are talking about?:D There are even supply problems with super monkey ball...lol

     

    so the cables are not delayed but just out of stock?

    Yeah it has, my friend at Virgin says they expect some next week

     

    I still am amused by the fact that Gameplay are great and all, but they send me 3 Nunchucks and not the 2 Wiimotes to go with them :p

     

    man that sucks, oh well i guess i can wait a little longer to play zelda at its best, back to gears of war then :o

    Just called Game and got a bit of unfortunate news. No, Wii is still coming tomorrow... just the component cable isn't. Composite Cryday it is, then.

     

    To summarise, this is what I have put in my bag:

     

    - Wii + Wii Sports

    - Zelda

    - Wii Play

    - Monkey Ball

     

    My sister has

     

    - Wii + Wii Sports

    - Zelda

    - Wii Play

     

     

    Really gutted about the Component cable situation and Play Asia letting me down, but hopefully Zelda is still playable. There's always the CRT in the living room afterall.

     

    so has the component cable been delayed then? or is it just with Game?

    I ordered mine from

    pcworld.co.uk

     

    on the ws it says I should receive it 5-7 w-days AFTER the

    release date.

     

    But I am still waiting for an e-mail confirmation.

     

    in order to guarantee that your wii will be shipped on Friday, you should have received your 2nd email (process confirmation) by now, if you haven't then i am afraid you will have to wait till the 2nd shipment of the wii's to arrive, which should be some time next week

     

    my 2nd email arrived yesterday at 4:30pm

    NOTE Currys and PC world operate under the same business group, thus the ordering system is th e same
