Wii Component Cable - $8.99 shipped!!!

[DaveL]

Meritline.com has the Wii Component Cable for $8.99 with free standard shipping! This is a great deal considering Best Buy and Circuit City sell 'em for $29.99. In researching Meritline.com they seem to be a good merchant, just sometimes slow to ship. I went ahead and ordered one for myself. To play Wii in 480p isn't worth $30 but I am willing to pay $9! Thought I would pass it on to all you other Wii owners.

Thank you DaveL, Yes $9 seems worth it.

Just as a sidenote, my mcafee site advisor warned me about Meritline...basically a few warnings about giving them your email address...they give it out. Use a bulk email for them, or just leave the email address out of your order.

I used Google Checkout! :) Allowed me not to give them my email.

For those that have it, is there really any difference (between the component and a/v)?

 

 

EDIT:

 

This looks like the iMax Wii component cables that you can get from Amazon's Marketplace for ~$6.41 shipped (lowest price):

Yes, the cable I bought from Meritline.com does look just like the picture on Amazon.

I went ahead and ordered the Amazon one yesterday. For $6.41, I'll leave that one connected at home and use the a/v cable for when I transport the Wii to someone else's house... which will save me from having to keep the a/v cables plugged into the front of the tv at home and make it look a little nicer lol. :)

 

 

Also, if anyone else is wondering if there is a difference, I found the following page that has mouse-over images showing the difference. I have 3 of the 4 games pictured, so it gave me a better idea. :)

I am doing the same thing....using the component at home and the A/V that came with the Wii for travel. There is a slight difference, worth it for $8, not $20.
