The people on their live service are... hmm.
Good news though, looks like we'll only get shafted with the VC and release dates, not video

James: the 'secondly' was - could you please add the Wii Component Video Cable to the order?
agent: do you have a Gamecube
James: I do
agent: from what i've seen the power cable and the TV connection cables are the same as the Cube
James: they aren't
James: the early gamecube had two parts
James: a digital a/v out and an a/v out
James: (the digital a/v out was phased out as no-one used it)
James: the gamecube component cables plugged into the digital a/v out
James: and sound came from the red and white on the a/v out (from the standard composite)
James: whereas the wii only has one port, so the gc component cables couldn't possibly work
James: hi. I'm a nintendo geek
agent: i went to add one to my order and the guys who talk to nintendo with in our company said the cables that you got with the cube will work for the Wii
James: the bog standard cables might
James: but not the component
agent: it's one of the ways they have kept the price down
James: http://image.lik-sang.com/images//large/gc_cvcable.jpg ok check that image out of the cube
agent: because they aren't making new cables just re-using cables
James: see the two ports and the component cable?
agent: two seconds
James: the component cable for the cube only carries video, sound had to come from a second port
James: http://www.nintendo.co.jp/wii/accessories/img/p_component.jpg shows the new wii component cable, notice how it is all in one? video (rgb) and audio (rw)
James: the COMPOSITE cables may be the same as the gamecube cables, but that's not what I'm after
agent: all i know what is i was told
agent: and these are the guys that talk to nintendo
James: You're aware of the difference between composite and component right?
James: wii + gamecube ship with COMPOSITE cables i want to add wii COMPONENT cables to my order
James: the product code for which is NW0055
James: hello?
agent: sorry im on the phone too
agent: so you definately want to order the cable?
James: yes
agent: okay
agent: i have added it to the smaller order
James: thank you
Good news though, looks like we'll only get shafted with the VC and release dates, not video
