4.0 out of 5 stars Works as Advertised, January 4, 2007

Well, it does what it says it does for $10 less than the official Nintendo cable. The only ding I give this product is that the audio connectors are attached close to the video connectors. The result of this is that you can't, for example, plug the video into a TV and the audio into a receiver unless they are located very close to each other. Perhaps the official cable suffers from the same issue. Additionally, you'll only get a resolution of 480p from these cables, which is not really HD. This is a shortcoming of the Wii itself, not the cable.

3.0 out of 5 stars They work, March 8, 2007

In short, the cables work. The downside is that in an effort to make the back of your entertainment center more clutter free, they bundle all the cables into one solid cable. Now this would normally be great; the bummer is that they don't split out all the cables until the last 5", this means that if on your receiver (like mine) if your audio inputs are not right next to the video inputs, you may have a problem. They should have left at least the last 8" of cable separated.

5.0 out of 5 stars Big improvement, February 6, 2007

Wow - the image quality greatly improved through the use of this cable. I plugged in the cable, set the output of the Wii to 480p, and was impressed with the results. Images were crisper and there was a noticeable increase in color range.

I have the Wii hooked up to a large (52") HD, LCD projection TV and was not very happy with the original image. Shadows lost details and images had a blur to them. Switching from the included cable to this cable really seemed to improve things. Others noticed it too. I know others have mentioned about banding, I haven't noticed any of this. Highly recommend.
