By the way, someone posted this a few hours ago on another messageboard:

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Nintendo regarding your desire to purchase the Wii Component Video Cable. As you inquired about having the Component Video Cable available when the Wii launches, we are extending to you an exclusive offer. We have made a limited number of the cables available for purchase prior to the launch. The cable will cost $29.95 USD and $35.95 CDN. Expedited shipping is available for an additional fee. There is a limit of one Component Video Cable per customer.
To order by phone using your credit card (Visa or MasterCard), please call our Consumer Service line at 1-800-255-3700. Representatives are available to take your order between 6:00 a.m. and 7:00 p.m. Pacific Time, seven days a week. Our representatives can also provide mail-order instructions if you would rather pay by check.

Please note, if you would rather not order at this time, additional cables will be made available to the general public via our online store on November 19th ( http://store.nintendo.com ), and they will also be available through selected retailers in early-mid December.

I don't know how many they managed to go through tonight since they went up for sale only about 2 and a half to 3 hours before the order department closed for the night. Meaning that if you happen to see this on Wednesday early and want Wii component cables for Sunday, you'll definitely want to try calling. I managed to score a set and did expedited shipping (UPS Red overnight shipping, the only one that will make it by Friday), so I spent just over 40 bucks and my Wii component cables should get here Thursday or by Friday latest.

In other words, I'll be picking my Wii up and playing it on Saturday night.


Also notice that the cables will go on sale again on Sunday, but not at retail until mid-December (Gamestop is showing a December 15th shipping date).


Whatever. I'm all set and HAPPY.
