    Seems that nintendo not only never learns, but is also quite confident in its mistakes. This is truly shameful, they ruin the image of the classy Wii by being so *cheap* in their character as a company.

    Has anyone done the D-terminal/component mod to VGA on their GC's cable themselves? I would be interested (hopefully the DAC will be left the same)

    I can't believe they won't sell it in stores again. That's just retarded.

    Only in the us, in japan they will be sold in shops.

    You wont be able to modify a wii cable as the encoding chip will be inside the wii this time meaning that a new way will have to be found.

    Again : "Once you got the HW, we fished you and you have to play our rules". Good Ol' Big N ^^

    EDIT : How long will it take until someone sells it as unofficial?

    and in europe they will be custom made upon request probably:p

    the reason that you never saw an unofficial GC component, whereas u did see unofficial PS2 and XBOX is that DAC chip i think.

    I guess by making their official cables harder to get, they will be able to justify once again that their users are not interested in HD.

    Hey Borman, did you reserved official cables or third party?
