  1. Who is seriously going to have an HDTV and not use it with component cables? Only tech-minded people have HDTV's at the moment for the most part, they'll know to get the component cable.

    And people who's SDTVs broke. You cannot find Non HD ones easily in shops nowadays

     

    Come to think of it, is there any word of Wii component cables being sold in Europe? I know next to nothing about these cables, do you need specific cables for each region?

    Yes, all the sites like Gameplay, Game, Play etc. have taken pre-orders on them and Game are even stocking them

     

    They arent region locked either

  2. Well I dont see why it'ld be any different to using the Cube via Composite and that swhat I've been doing and they look fine

     

    But then again, I haven't been spoilt by S-Video/RGB/Component Visuals...yet.

     

    Roll on December 8th

     

    Regardless tho, I shall def. try my Wii with Composite first...just so I'm more "Wow" with the Component :p

     

    On the GoNintendo site they actually made a post agreeing with this guy's view.

     

    I'm starting to seriously wonder what to do about getting a new TV. I have a feeling even WITH component it's going to look pretty bad on any HDTV's that are a fairly large size...

    I've been playing my Cube on my new 40" LCD Samsung using Component and it looks great. Some games have a couple of issues but its still great. Don't worry

  3. They could have posted examples. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. Cube games look fine using composite on my 40" LCD

     

    GoNintendo.com have been using a Samsung LCD TV, prolly the same one as me and it looked fine according to them

     

    GoNintendo also posted a comparison shot of Zelda's Title using Composite and using Component

  4. Twozzok, i've already spoken to Gameplay (i've pre-ordered there too) and they're not sure of numbers yet - or at least the customer service team have not been made aware. I pre-ordered on the 4 October, and while not guaranteeing i'll receive one, they're optimistic I will.

     

    The dispatch date is a simple placeholder and is not guaranteeing you'll get yours on day one.

     

    All that said, at this late stage its unlikely Gamplay do not know their allocations. It could be that they're holding back with emails and confirmations to ensure orders are not lost. Personally, i'd recommend anyone ordering with Gameplay to use the online help chat to enquire about allocations - and hopefully that would speed them up with confirmations.

    Well thats a bit of a relief...I ordered on the 26th...when they opened so here's hoping

     

    BackUp Plan: Asda or Tesco at 9am on December 8th :p

  5. Gameplay.com have never let me down before... lets hope they don't for launch. I got my pre order in within the first hour.

     

    But as i learned from the 360 launch, that really doesn't matter.

    What time did they open pre-orders?

     

    I got mine in at 2pm and thus i'm worried

  6. Oh please...its simple in the code for Virtual Console control being adapted for Gamecube Controllers or Wiimote

     

    if (n64Rumble() != null) {

    if (controller = gcn) {

    gcnRumble(); }

    else if (controller = wiimote) {

    wiiRumble(); }

    }

     

    Its just laziness

  7. Does the Cube work on the same principle in 50/60hz? i.e. 576i in 50 and 480i in 60? If so then i should be fine

     

    Samsung TVs are awesome. I got myself one a couple weeks back and they do wonders. The games look great on them and I'm only using Composite Cabling. Its great. However you will need to fine tune the picture from the start. Luckily they save the picture settings differently for each channel!

  8. I'm a bit worried now. Some are saying in Europe the Wii will only do 480i/p (including the Q&A here) which doesnt make sense as thats not a PAL output and thus the majority of Hi-Definition TVs and just ordinary TVs won't be able to support it as they only support 576+ iirc

     

    Or am I being an idiot?

  9. Scientists are all doom bringers anyway. They said the oil would run out in the early 80s, early 90s, early 00s...has it? No

     

    Really they put glib statements out just to get the government to fund their research. I highly doubt it is anywhere near as bad as you said. They always do this. The polar Ice Caps were meant to be completely melted by 2002 if I recall correctly

  10. Wow that is pretty good for those.

     

    I hope Gameplay will hurry up and send out there Confirmation emails.... It's just over a month to go, they should know by now right?

    They're going to send confirmation e-mails?

     

    Thats rather disconcerting...
