I'm in the uk mate so i'll find a retailer here. Read a few other forums and some people like the clarity and some folk don't like seeing pixels.
Perspnal preferance i guess.

I'm in the U.S., play-asia is still cheaper. Good luck finding a retailer that will beat their price.

PeguinUnited.com (http://www.penguinunited.com/index.php). Another place to get great quality Wii Component cables. I got These Ones Here (http://www.penguinunited.com/proddetail.php?prod=PU_008) for ~ $15, 3 days shipped in the US. Great customer service, too.
Clarity is great running in 480p. Plus, if you have any Cube games, you can run those at 480p also. If people complain about seeing pixels, they're sitting too damn close to the TV. Rule of thumb (from what I read in a magazine): Best distance to sit from a HDTV is 2.5x-3x the height of your screen.

Even though wii outputs 480p @ max, you will notice a difference on a 42" TV.
Worth every penny, but official ones are no better than 3rd party ones and you can even get multo cables. I have the XCM multi ( does wii, xbox 360, ps2 and ps2 ) and notice no difference on my 360 premium cable to it and from my official nintendo cables to it on my 42".
But from SVIDEO or RCA you notice night and day!!!!!!

I ordered mine from play asia on december 18th 2006, in february 2007 i managed to get my refund after 1,334,222 emails to them complaining of their bad service. I live in the UK. If i was you i would get it from the UK :)

4 of the 5 superwalmarts near me carry them for 19.99.
so try walmart guys, if you want it quick.

Seems like i asked a bit of a dump question now but i had to ask. Some other sites were sayin that they weren't really worth it and that the ngraphics looked pixelated and jaggy. I checked the gamespot comparrison and it made my mind up. The difference in zelda alone was totally so much better.

They definately do make a difference. If you are lazy and don't want to leave the house, you can always get them off of Ebay. You can have them to your door step in 2-3 days for less than 20 bucks.
