    Rev Wii Component Cables Fetch High Prices

    news via kotaku

    Despite HDTV having such a low install base in North America, it seems that demand for hi-def component cables for the Nintendo Wii are in great demand. Who woulda thunk it? Certainly not Nintendo!

    Priced online at the official Nintendo store for $29.95 (USD) and sold out within hours, two days before the launch, bids for the sold out cables are easily fetching over five times their original price. It's almost as if people really wanted them!

    What a bizarre turn of events! Let's hope Nintendo can replenish supply online and in store before the holidays (or before I get my Sharp Aquos LCD delivered, whichever comes first)

    Will these be availabe for purchase at stores like EB Games? I have my HD, and It's a shame for Zelda not to be high def.

    I thought the Wii didn't do HD. How does this cable change anything?

    Apparently if you dont use component cables on high def T.v's it can make the pictures look blurry or something.
