FYI:
Target has begun to sell Wii items.
At two of my local Target stores, they have Wii related items for sale:
bag, controller sleeves, dogtags, stand, Wii Target gift card

I'll probably invest in some of those Wii condoms.

Maybe they are. It didnt seem like the display was full though. Maybe those will go on sale at launch.

I was tempted to get a gift card just because they are cool. They light up with a blue LED all around the edges when you press the power button on the front.
All of the other stuff is too expensive.

I think the Componet Cables are online order only.

Just checked eBay. They seem to be a hit and miss auction. Wouldnt make much money off of them.

I think they will be, but only online from Nintendo.com and other online retailers (Best Buy, EB Games, etc.)

I hope they'll sell them in stores at some point.

Wow thats the first I have heard of the controller sleeves wait till the gang up at capitol hill get their hands on this. It will be as bad as the hot coffee number.

Say what? These had better not be like the gamecube's component cables. I want to be playing the Nintendo Wii on HDTV through component when I get it this holiday season.
How much are the Official component cables?

Yep, the component cable is online only, but this time they're not limited to nintendo.com. Apparently they'll be for sale at bestbuy.com, gamestop.com and ebgames.com as well (but they're not available for preorder anywhere yet). Retail price will be $29.99.

I wish they'd just sell the cables in-store, but at least they'll be more available this time around. I got lucky and managed to get my Gamecube component cable when Nintendo had a small restock of them about a year ago. I'm really hoping they'll be available for preorder before the launch date so I won't have to use the AV cable. :)

Now, that I think of it. The displays and items were the same ones that I saw in the Wii pics that were posted on here a couple of weeks ago. Same cardboard display. I tried to search for it, but no luck.

We noticed the stuff about a week ago. We bought one of the controller cover sets (set of 3) (didn't need to spend 50 bucks on 6 Wii covers). They also had the dog tag thing, 'collectors' box with magnets and 2 different sets of covers. The stuff isn't made by Nintendo but is officially licensed.

If I'm not mistaken, there will be 3rd party component cables available in stores at launch, but unfortunately they will cost $59.99 or $69.99 or something like that if you can freaking believe that. I'm also a little dissapointed by the fact that we have to order the official Nintendo component cable online, it's almost like they don't want people to be able to play in 480p. :hmm:
Hopefully, we will be able to order those cables pretty soon, and we can receive them pretty fast, so that on the actual launch day, we can be playing Wii Sports in all it's 16:9 480p glory, lol.

Yup. That is the same exact one. It was weird though. They carry the Nintendo seal but they dont seem to be Nintendo brand??? Maybe Nintendo hired this company to make the products?? I didn't have much time to check them out but, they didnt seem to have Nintendo written on the package prominently.

Component Cable retail $29.99... NOT $59.99. :roll:
See the IGN link above. It'll be the official one too since that also is the price at the Ninty online store.
I noticed the controller sleeves are in two packs, one featuring a sleeve in red with the Mario "M" logo and another featuring a sleeve in green with a Triforce.
The other two sleeves in each pack are generically labeled "Wii."

I got the dog tag/lapel pin pack. I wanted the pins mainly. The rest of the stuff was there as well except for the gift cards. I checked several Targets around me nd only 1 of them had this stuff.

There were two different packages of Wii condoms at Target.
One package was of bright colors :a pinkish, yellowing and greenish
Another package of darker colors: black, dark green, and I forget the other color.

The $59.99/$69.99 price that I was talking about, is for the 3rd party cables. Everything that I've heard regarding the official Nintendo component cables is that they will be $29.99 and will "ONLY" be sold online. Now, I have also heard that you will be able to buy them at Best Buy's online website, and Circuit City's online website and stuff like that, not just the Nintendo online store. But for some very weird reason, they are supposedly only available for purchase online. Why I have no idea.

For some reason, Nintendo doesn't seem to want us to see the graphics in their games in all their glory. They have been doing it since the late days of the SNES And are still doing it.
