Contests

I love my Wii. It’s so cute, I just want to dress it up in little outfits and carry it in a bag like a twee lil’ dog. Since they don’t currently sell clothing accessories for the Wii, I figured I’d try some accessories that are available, sent to me by Penguin United (they also sell accessories for the PS3, Xbox 360, and DS Lite). Penguin United sent me four items to review. I’m still testing the rechargeable battery set, so look for that review in the future, but here’s my thoughts on the other "accessowiis": 24K Gold Plated Nintendo Wii Component Cable This cable rocks. Since the Wii only supports up to 480p display resolution, it seems like it wouldn’t make that much of a difference if you used the standard cable or an enhanced cable. However, when I switched my Wii from the standard OEM cable to this gold-plated cable, the difference was immediately apparent. Lines were sharper and blacks seemed blacker. I also took the cable over to my sister’s house to test with their HDTV, and the difference was clear there too. It's hard to tell in these crappy photos I took of my TV, but with the Wii-packaged cable, the blue line is kind of pixelated. With the gold-plated cable, the line is much smoother.
