Component Cables Available Here

[Macron]

Sorry, not wanting to spam, I have been looking everywhere for a component cable, none of the shops in my town have them.

This guy on Ebay has loads in stock for under £25.00 and with free delivery.

I'm going to order now, are the Blaze ones okay?

I emailed them to ask how long delivery would be and they said all orders will be sent on Monday by first class recorded.

Can anyone tell me if the Blaze cable is good because I want to order one now.

So if it's crap, I'll tell you Tuesday

Ordered Thursday, received Friday and great quality

Snap.

Now got to decide whether to unplug my DVD player or Xbox as I only have 2 component inputs on the TV.

Probably get rid of the DVD player as the xbox can play DVD's rather well and upscale them to 720p in XBMC - but that's a different thread.

........or have a decent amp..........

I've got a decent AMP, so I'm ok.
Well until everything has HDMI that I'm totally in trouble as it's got zero HDMI connections.

Some people are suggesting that the Nintendo one is visibly better that the others, I'm surprised. This is delaying my decision as I might try to wait a little longer waiting for an official one to come from HK.

Thanks for the heads up
Was a little skeptical about these as I've seen the official cables going for over £80 on eBay.
I've got an official Nintendo component and the Gameplay component cable on backorder so after checking things out have ordered one of these cables.
I've got an S-Video and RGB Blaze cable for the PS2 and the PQ is excellent. They're not a high profile company but from what I know they make good cables.

Have held off playing Zelda till I can get a Component cable. Hopefully will be able to play the game over Christmas.

Heads up !

Picked up a Game own brand Wii Component lead in GAME in Colchester this afternoon, £19.99

I was beginning to think I was going to have to let my kids play on their Christmas present hooked up to my plasma via the composite lead....oh the shame

The lead came in today Central delivery AFAIK, so ring you local GAME store on Sunday to see if they have any

 

[Macron]

Ah sod it.

I ordered the blaze on just now for deliery on Tuesday.

£25.00 may be over the rrp but I don't care any more. I'm sick of phoning all the shops in town, some of the staff are doing my head in now, this was my conversation with Game today (on the phone):

me: Hi, do you have any Nintendo Wii compo....
Game: No mate no, we don't have any, Nintendo let us down we are waiting for the next shipmant, we cant take any orders and theres nothing we can do.
me: If you'll allow me to finish I was going to say I don't want a console, just a cable.
Game: What cable?
me: component
Game: for Xbox?
me: no for Wii
Game: Hang on....
Game: The scart cable?
me: No COMPONENT
Game: We only have the scart, which is the same as the one you get with it
me: Well okay, but its not because you only get a composite lead with it
Game: It's the same quality anyway
me: Well okay if you say so
*click*

Will let you know how the cable is on Tuesday.
