Official Wii Component Video Cable

Advantages: Far better picture than standard composite, better looking games
Disadvantages: Expensive, Only needed for larger screens 32" or greater

...After the release of the little white bundle of joy on the 8/12/2006 people were given a composite cable to show off their new shinny new console. AV enthusiasts all know a composite signal is the poor quality option for showing video on their TV's - what people really want is RGB or Component video input. As console manufactures are out to make a profit they usually bundle the cheapest and most compatible option with the console and then release upgrades to that product for people who need or want it. Nintendo understand this and have released two video upgrade options - the Wii RGB cable or the Wii Component cable. Lets get things straight from the off, The Nintendo Wii is not a High Definition Console, What this cable does offer is a enhanced image resolution of 480p. I finally got hold of the component video cable after...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

An expensive cable but well worth it.

Advantages: Great pictures and you can connect it to a number of devices.
Disadvantages: It is expensive and the cable is quite short.

...The Sony male VMC 15HD Video / Audio cable is very cheap for the thing it does which is transfer images. This cable is the future of HD TV I paid £25.00 for this cable. The UK Sony website sells it at £29.00 but there are plenty of other suppliers out there. This is a great piece of kit for transferring pictures from HD DVD players to HD TVs and still leaves the pictures with a very high picture quality you on the screen with its high rate data transfer "which means it loses very little detail." Sony states Gold-plated terminals for much improved signal transmission. This cable has gold plated connectors "The connectors are the gold bits at either end of the cable that go into the two devices e.g. TV to DVD. The cable is one and a half meters long this is more than enough cable to connect it up to my new blu ray HD...

Xbox Live is all Gold!

Advantages: the best online community ever!
Disadvantages: the playstation 3 is free for online play

...membership - You can have a friends list and manages this. You can also download things from the marketplace including demos, arcade games, pictures, etc (I will talk about this in more detail later). You can also send and receive text and voice messages.

Wii component cable- Well worth the money

Advantages: sharper/brighter picture, opens up more ports on TV, saves hassle.
Disadvantages: quite expensive for a simple console improvement

...The Nintendo Wii component video cable really is a sound investment if you are the owner of an HD/ LCD TV, and obviously a nintendo Wii. Before i bought it, i had trouble with the picture quality and contrast on many of the games. Games such as Wii Sports were fine, but more of the action/adventure games such as Zelda or Splinter Cell give a very dark picture which can sometimes be hard to make out what was happening. The only way i could combat this problem was to adjust the contrast on my television which did help, but was alot of hassle. With the component cable, the picture is not only much brighter, but much sharper and defined. It gets rid of the hassle of having to turn the contrast back down after playing on the Wii and improves the overall gaming experiance. Another bonus is that on your HD TV, this cable plugs into...

Review of Nintendo Wii Component Video Cable

High Definition Awesomeness!

Advantages: Great picture, supports upto 1080p, supports surround sound.
Disadvantages: May not be the best cable for your TV

...The Xbox 360 Component cable is vital if you want to see your Xbox 360 games in high definition. This cable is included in the box with any Xbox 360 Premium or Elite system but if you have a Core or Arcade system you and an HDTV you will want to get one. Appearance: The cable is around 3 metres long and is grey in colour, the ends are clearly marked with colours so you can easily identify which part of the cable is which. There is also a Microsoft sticker on there just to remind you that you have purchased the real deal. Pretty standard cable looks! Features: The Xbox 360 component cable is able to support standard definition and high definition TVs. To do this around two and a half metres down the cable the cable splits into two parts, one part is a composite section, yellow, red and white wires which support many TVs, the other...

Xbox Live Gold Overview/Review

Advantages: Many Features! Cheap
Disadvantages: Needs Broadband Connetction

...If you have an xbox 360 i'm pretty sure you have at least tried Xbox Live Gold. If not I'll give you a run through. Xbox Live is a place where the gaming community can get together. They can play nearly every game online with each other and communicate even if not on the same game. There are two levels of xbox live. Xbox live gold (which averages out to £3.33 a month) and Xbox Live Silver (averages out about 0p a billion years!) I'll simply give you the differences available: Xbox Gold: You can play online on any game You can download everything from the xbox live marketplace With silver you can talk to friends, use MSN messenger, download but not play online whenever you want. Xbox Live has plenty of features I will now tell you what these our. The Xbox Live Marketplace: The xbox live market place is basicly...

Medion - Audio / Visual Tranmitter / Receiver

Advantages: Portable, Easy set up, Cheap, Design, Functionality
Disadvantages: None noted

.... The set up for these units is really easy, the transmitter is plugged into your audio / video source ( currently plugged into my sky box ) and then the receiver is plugged in via a scart adaptor - the unit itself provides the 3 plug Audio Left / Right and video. There is also a scart adaptor supplied, which you plug the 3 leads into, and then the connection is plugged into your scart socket on your television. The units themselves have a switch, to allow you to change the frequency being transmitted, to 4 different channels, this helps you to set them to the best picture / sound quality, depending on interference in your environment ( such as cordless phones / microwave / hairdryers etc ) I have to admit - that the picture and sound quality is really, really clear. It looks as if I have a second set top box in my bedroom - no loss...
