Pros: Matched the quality of the factory cables.
Hooked up to TV fine.
How can you beat this price? (Spoiler!.. You Can't).
Cons: It would be nice if they labeled the two red connectors. I had them backwards and knew instantly once the TV started blasting white noise ( then Michael Keaton arrived and told me my Grandmother was trying to talk to me). Its not much of a problem to switch the wires, but for some people with fat disgusting sausage fingers and limited space it could be a pain.
Other Thoughts: Seriously, for the money you should by one for yourself and one for your babies momma.
Bottomline: If you want this item, but don't buy it, chances are you are too broke to own a Wii. So why are you wasting your time reading my review? You sicken me.
Pretty good cable for not a lot of money

Pros: It does what it's suppose to do. Display in 480p. I can definitely tell the difference between 480i and 480p. Colors are much better. I was hoping that it would fix the random pixelation but I think I just have a bad VPU. Cable is excellent - no complaints!
Cons: None at all!
Bottomline: I saw a video on youtube of the difference between 480i and 480p. Plus I was told that my random pixelation is caused by hooking the wii up on a high def TV. Pixels are still there but the quality of color is much better! Once I get a replacement I'm sure it'll look even better! Price is pretty cheap compared to the official cable. If you don't mind waiting, this is a perfect cable for your Wii.
Simple, effective, CHEAP!

Pros: This is a very nice cable. I needed something to free up the video port on my TV and move the kids wii connection to the back. This works perfect! I didn't really notice a change in video quality but it looks very good on our 47" TV. Simple and effective delivery in a bag with twist ties around it! Love not having to cut into a nuke proof plastic container for 20 minutes to get to what I want.
Cons: I did notice there are two red connectors but after first glance, it is quite obvious which is which.
Other Thoughts: This works perfect and does what is should have 1/5 the price of anything else out there. I'd recommend it.
Bottomline: Great deal, just get it what do you have to lose?
Couldn't be simpler

Pros: Works. Stunning price!
Cons: None
Other Thoughts: I'm amazed that anyone complains about the R audio and Red component cables not being properly labeled. The 5 cables are run together like a ribbon: the 3 component cables together, then the 2 audio cables. If you can't figure that out, then perhaps you should be calling the Best Buy Geek Squad to come out and help you set up your Wii. Ha! Wish I'd heard of DX before I spent $30 on this cable at a big box store, only to have it start intermittently shorting out on me. Plugged this one in, and it was smooth sailing. On my next order, I may pickup and extra one of these just to have as a backup!
Bottomline: Just buy it already.
