Anyone using component instead of the included composite cables to hook up their Wii to an HDTV, and if so, is the difference worth the $25 or so?

ebay has some listed usually for a lot cheapers.
Ive heard (i haven't used them) that there is not much a difference and its not enough to warrant that price of the official wires. So id say no. 480i vs 480p isnt much of a change at all.
I did read a while back that there was a adapter that could upscale it to like 1080i. But that was like 100 bux or so (it supported hdmi also). Not sure how good it works but i haven't seen anything that says or shows its worth it at this time to upgrade.

while its utube quality, it should give you a idea of how small a change it is and if you think its worth getting. If i did get some id probably get the cheaper offbrand cables the official 1s are over priced and even ebgames will tell you that.
