Hey guys, since i recently decided to rehook the wii to my 65 inch HD TV instead of my 42 inch CRT, i was considering getting some component cables so i can use 480p resolution instead of 480i.
Now, when i look online i see Nintendo original cables and Nintendo licensed one going being sold 100 to 200 bux while i see other brand for anywhere from 5 to 40 bux . . .
So, if what i read is true there is a chip in the official cables which bump the price or its just the license that is expensive (as expected coz Nintendo . . .) so unlicensed cable could be much cheaper and still work fine . . .
Anyways, i just want some reliable info on the cables so i don't buy shit
A quick look a shopbot gave me some price range online for Canada:

So thx ahead of time for the info everyone.
EDIT:
Wow, nintendo must really like stealing money coz i found this:

It includes component cables and a sensor bar with the charger . . .
Sure its some cheap charger but all that for 3 bux . . . unless cheap component cable have atrocious image quality or something i can't understand ppl paying 100 to 200 bux for the nintendo/licensed ones . . .
