Wii - Scart or Component?

I preordered my Wii yesterday, but have noticed that it only comes with component connection.

Is there a huge difference between the visual quality between scart and component input?

And will it be worth forking out £20 for the scart :confused:

cheers

now your mixing them up!

to the opening poster you do mean composite (yellow, red and white cables), they in turn can be used in a scart adapter. There is no on 'scart' connection its just a form you send a type of signal through. The 'scart' connection you are referring to is probably RGB. To answer the question the order of visual quality is

Composite <- worst
RGB (scart)
Component

Component uses seperate colour channels and it seems at the moment its the only way to get the higher res dispaly (480p) out of the wii.

If your tv has component id get a set of leads, it looks way better there is a link on gamespot about it.

you can use mouse overs to see the difference.

sorry, i do mean composite not component...

i'm sure i saw a link on IGN with a flash demonstration of the Wii showing what the different ports etc are for.

so it comes with composite would that mean its worth upgrading to Scart

again, sorry for the confusion
