The3rdChildren Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 3rd party cables are always inferior. Get the official ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xernobyl Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 3rd party cables are always inferior. Get the official ones. They can't be. Unless there's an huge price difference. Cables are cables. They really need to be cheap to be worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They really need to be cheap to be worse. 3rd party accessories are always of an inferior quality. Especially Mad Catz and Logic 3 shit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

YenRug Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Check out Amazon, they're selling the Wii Component and RGB SCART cables for £14.99 each, whereas I've seen them listed as high as £24.99 at other sites. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xernobyl Posted November 16, 2006 Author Share Posted November 16, 2006 Thanks. Now I need to decide what's better for me. Probably the Scart. I think the result is the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YenRug Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 If you've got HDTV get Component, plain and simple; if you plan to take the system to friends or use it on a variety of sets, best bet would be SCART. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintendork Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Nintendo branded cables are not better than the rest. Cables are not just cables. Quality varies hugely in the gold plating and gases injected into the cable.. as well as the flexibility and security of the connection. Nitrogen inject cables transmit better, gold plated connectors conduct better and the features described are often associated with a product with a high quality insulation and connector. There is a market for a product that is better than the bog standard Nintendo cable. They often compare roughly equal on price as well. I would wait unless you are into that attitude that anything with Nintendo on it is better. http://www.monstercable.com/productdisplay.asp?pin=1811 $19. Last time I checked the US retail Nintendo composite was $30. Expect there to be a Wii one available shortly after launch at a competitive price from Monster, if I had a HDTV I'd go with Monster. Gonna try and tell me the Nintendo one is better? GO FOR IT. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blender Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 lol @ Nitrogen-injected composite cable seriously though, for component, sheilding is not so important as there are separate wires. sheilding is more relevant for RBG where there is one wire HDMI any old wire will do as its digital huge profit in cables Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The3rdChildren Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Gonna try and tell me the Nintendo one is better? GO FOR IT. It's still better. There, I did it. Go sit on a spike. --- Here comes the real reply. Even though you linked to a shitty composite cable, I'm going to throw this one out there for everyone anyway. Let's-a-go! Monster cables are ridiculously overpriced and rarely justify the difference. You're paying for a name. A Monster COMPONENT cable will probably cost more than the official one. If around the Wii launch Monster do sell a Wii cable "competitively priced" (read: cheaper than or equal to) with Nintendo's official one then by all means remind me of this and I shall print out my post, shred it and produce a YouTube video of me eating the ribbons like spaghetti. Until that day, 3rd party cables < official. [edit] Lastly, the cable isn't superior because it has Nintendo's name on it. The cable is superior because of the reason Jordan posted below. Thanks for saving me the trouble. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Jordan Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Nintendo know the ins and outs of a systems outputs far better than a 3rd party ever could. Its their system... and i agree with Guy go sit in on a spike :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hellfire Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 I want VGA cables or at least S video ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nintenchris Posted November 16, 2006 Share Posted November 16, 2006 Well i personaly know that the Nintendo RGB scart cable for the cube gave you a better picture that any of the 3rd party ones. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
steggy Posted November 17, 2006 Share Posted November 17, 2006 By the sounds of the madcatz Wii component cable announced in the states in August they are aiming to have a cable out better than the official one. It was listed at $60 compared to the official at $30 and called "Premium" which to me looks like there aiming at the AV enthusiast. Cables can make a difference, although that difference will only be really noticeable when you have the hardware to back it up. Thats when your comparing like for like BTW i.e component vs component. Oh and there's usually a happy medium when it comes to cables, on most peoples home systems you might be able to tell the difference between a £5 component cable and a £20 one. But probably not notice any difference between a £20 one and a £80 one. So if you have a very decent AV setup then the madcatz one will probably make a difference, otherwise you'll probably be best with the nintendo one (which looks gold plated but probably not individually shielded).
