      YEah component cables.... whatever makes it look pretty with my HD TV. I just ordered some wiimotes and numchuks from the nintendo online store. Hopefully it doesn't take long for them to be delivered. I have one more question do you guys use and/or like the speaker in the wiimote? I liked it at first but last night it didn't sound right. I don't know if its because the batteries were dying or what....

        Now that everything is actually in stock, I think you will be pleased with the Nintendo store. I orderd my component cables from them last week and I got them 3 days later with the cheapest shipping option.

        As for the controller speaker, I ended up turning it off... that directs the sounds back to the TV, which I just liked better.

          I turned the volume down to the second notch because its really loud when you turn the TV volume down at night. My wife was trying to put my son to bed and the DING from bowling was just bellowing out of that little thing.
          Two notches on the setting sounds about right though.

            I didn't know you can turn off the remote sounds. I'll have to do that because I'd rather it come from the TV too. I also wonder if the sound on the remote helps the battery die faster as well because it sure seems to drain more when I play Zelda (lots of wiimote sounds) compared to Tony Hawk.

              I think it does. I looked at the instructions it said that the batteries should last for 30 hours. Well I changed the batteries after only 3 days of playing. And I know we didn't play any where close to 30 hours, but we had that speaker in wiimote up really high.

                Don't you guys feel like you're robbing yourself of one of the unique features of the Wii by disabling the speaker in the remote? I think it's pretty damn cool.

                  I agree, I love the speaker. It's great in Wii sports and in Madden.

                    What's it do in Madden? I am SO thinking about running to pick it up at Best Buy after work. I still have those gift cards.

                      I like it too, it was a good idea. I am leaving it off till I get some rechargeable batteries though. I don't want to spend a fortune on batteries. There isn't anything for the wii like the 360 plug and play kit is there? How is madden for the Wii? Is it worth it to get if I already have the 360 version?

                        I'll turn it back on after I get one of these:


                        I've just gone through a lot of batteries between Zelda and Guitar Hero on the PS2.

                          The sound probably does drain the battery faster but I think the primary reason is the fact that the nunchuk is getting it's power from the Wiimote in Zelda and you don't use the nunchuk in Tony Hawk (as far as I know).

                          I like the sound coming through the Wiimote. It's really cool hearing the qb's in Madden.

                            I didn't know about that in Madden. I think I might sell my XBox Madden and get the Wii one.

                                I haven't seen any recently. They had some at a Costco here before Christmas, but I haven't seen any since. If I see any around town I'll let you know.
