[quote name='Beer Monkey']Dude, I remember it very well, came out three years after laserdisc and died much quicker.
[/quote]Can't imagine why... what with them weighing a million pounds and the quality was riiiiiiiiiiiiiight up there.
Gad, now I'm getting nostalgic thinking back to the old Carver components for what was it, holostic sound imagery? And my first AC3 ld. *sighs*
[quote name='gunm']Hokey smokes, I completely forgot about the GCN games that support progressive![/quote] Yup. And considering most people state-side didn't purchase the component cables for the cube, it's a nice new experience waiting to happen.
BTW, as for the general AVphile dickering in this thread--who cares? Most people won't, but if you think there's a difference and it matters to you, I could care less if you spend 100% more to buy your cables. Spend away...
You have to understand the engineer mentality, gunm. It's how they communicate. I have been in rooms where plain, indisputable numbers would be argued for hours.
Consider with a/v there is always a personal interpretation and you have the potential for a weeks worth of debate.
(by personal interpretation I refer to our senses; I can see the flicker in DLP tvs. Many people can't. ...So for those who are perfectly satisfied with the DLPs they're going to opt for one, save a buncha cash and sing its praises.
Now my ear isn't as sensitive as my eye. I'm as happy with a mid-line audio system, saving me thousands of dollars. But when I discuss this with my friends, I'll wind up hearing lectures and being shown the latest reciever output graphs.)
True there are some folks who just want braggers rights for spending boku bucks on a big name. But I'd wager that those clowns are not the engineers looking to have an intellectual discussion.
In any event, you're right. no bickering. If you want alternative component cables for the wii IN store rather than waiting at the mailbox, go to CC.
