We have to admit, we're six years late to the party on this one. We just purchased a set of PS2 component cables this past weekend and have to say that there's a pretty noticeable difference between composite and component, even on an old system like the PS2.

What's the point? Well, despite the fact that the Wii only ships with composite cables, we feel it's our civic duty to remind you that you need to play the Wii with component cables. Seriously. Just get it already. And since the official ones are most likely sold out everywhere, you're probably having a hard time getting some.

Here's how to find them.
