wooks63 Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Have just found that play.com have got the Component Video Cable for £14.99. (http://www.play.com/Games/Wii/GENBRW/3-/3256660/Official_Nintendo_Component_Video_Cable/Product.html) This is £7 cheaper than Gameplay. Looks like I'll have to cancel my Gameplay order and get it from Play instead, unless anyone knows anywhere cheaper? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenchris Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 Bloody Gameplay better get there act together... because im just getting a little pissed off that everywhere else is cheaper than they are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pyxis Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I guess that I should see how much I can get a Wii and games for...It would be cost price + VAT...It would be nice to know what the actual cost price of a Wii game and the console is! I heard that Play can afford to be cheap as they dont always use UK suppliers. Isnt Jersey VAT free aswell? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, Jersey is exempt from VAT. That's why loads of online stores are now setting up shop in Jersey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shorty Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 I remember the days when Gameplay was a few yellow pages in PC Gamer and their prices were lower than anyone else. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darthbane2k Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 thanks for the headsup! Pre-order in! Just as a backup incase the high street stores fail me, which they very well may do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The3rdChildren Posted October 30, 2006 Share Posted October 30, 2006 They will charge for this when it is released, right? I get paid the day before the Wii comes out and have the Friday, Saturday and Sunday off work during which time I plan to do nothing but play Zelda and eat snacks.

Strider Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Anyone know if there is a way to connect the Wii to a pc monitor, mine has vga and dvi. I saw on the internet a guy said last year "You'll be able to play [Revolution] not just by linking up to a television but to a computer monitor as well."...has anything been said about it since or what?

Miharu Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Nah, that has been scrapped. You can only use Wii on a TV. Except of course if you have some sort of VGA box that has RCA or S-Video input, but I don't think it's going to look too good. If Wii really supported VGA that'd be great, but no is a no.

Owen Posted October 31, 2006 Share Posted October 31, 2006 Gameplay are starting to lower 360 games to match that of other places! £37.99 for Gears Of War is VERY good. I reckon Wii games will go down to £32.99 soon, hopefully, fingers crossed. I'm pretty sure Gameplay are trying their best to match other stores, just give em time. Play.com and Amazon have to be congratulated for their competitive prices though, so well-done. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can if your monitor supports sync-on-green, then you can get a component->vga-cable converter for like 10€. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
