Composite Cables - The Wii Killer
Friday, IGN's San Francisco office was abuzz with the arrival of the Wii. Thousands of IGN employees gathered around Craig Harris' desk for a glimpse of Nintendo's new console. When Craig finally got around to actually putting in a disc, the collected masses collectively vomited.
Legend of Zelda on an LCD with composite cables is FUGLY. Really FUGLY. So FUGLY it deserves all caps. The same can be said for Excite Truck and likely any other Wii game. If you have an HDTV, the Wii may turn your stomach. There are two solutions.
#1: Get component cables. Easier said than done, as rumors suggest you can only get these online and that quantities will be far more limited than the four million Wii’s shipping his holiday. Why Nintendo wanted their games to look like shit for millions is unknown. But if you stick with the in-the-box composite cables, you will likely be unhappy with what appears on screen.
#2: Buy a shitty TV. No, seriously. With composite cables, Wii games will look a lot better on a standard definition television. Especially one that is under 32”. I may actually spend $250 at launch to buy a lesser TV just for the Wii. It sounds crazy, but if you saw the horror on screen that IGN witnessed Friday, you wouldn’t scoff at the idea of a Wii-dedicated shit TV.
My excitement for the Wii has just dropped by about 20%. That’s still better than the PS3, which, after seeing in the office the past week, is now below “Root Canal” among things I’d like to have for Christmas. I still want a Wii, but for the first time in six months, I’d actually be okay if I missed out at launch. Also, the first two hours of Zelda = Zzzzzz...
haha, 360>wii>ps3

This is good info. Thanks!
I'm buying one primarily because it's a less expensive Blu-Ray player. The fact that I can also play a game every now and then is just a bonus. Because of that I'm not even considering the 360 or the Wii.

Wait, you mean a computer with a multicore processor, a solid GPU, a high-end optical drive, 4 USB ports, and HDMI output takes up a decent amount of room? I'm blown right the fuck away, I'd never have seen that coming.
Who cares how big it is? It's not like you toss it in a backpack and take it to work.
