How do I hook up this useless Wii to my LED tv?
The Wii was enough of a waste of investment for me (I pretty much bought it for the virtual system) and now I realize I can’t even hook it up to my new LED TV b/c Nintendo doesn’t sell an HDMI or YPBr cable for it! and new TV’s don’t have the regular A/V holes.
Do I really have to spend $50 on a converter or is there another way?

You can get component cables for $30.00 from Nintendo or cheaper if you get another brand (if your tv has component jacks).

thanks @Seaofclouds, I was looking at something online that said Nintendo didn’t make the component cables. So if you didn’t tell me that, I had already given up looking for those before I started.
Nintendo doesn’t seel HDMI for it because it’s not an HD device.
If your TV doesn’t have component inputs, you can only buy a converter.
Alternatively, you could sell the Wii and connect your PC to the TV via the VGA/DVI adapter and play SNES/Genesis/N64 games via appropriate emulators.
@the100thmonkey
it has component inputs, i just read somewhere (wrongfully obviously) that Nintendo didn’t offer component cords for Wii.
Thanks though.
Sorry – I wrote “component”, but I meant _composite.
Does your TV have an S-Video plug?

what is S-Video? I don’t think it does. I think it has one YPbR and like 4–5 hdmi…
I knew what S-Vid was, but I forgot.
Oh yeah.. No the new tv doesn’t have that…
Forgive me for saying this, but your new TV seems to be entirely too new…
No s-video or component input… WTF?
Frankly, I’d be bitching at the TV manufacturer rather than Nintendo…
It’s a Samsung LED TV so yea, it is TOO new, I agree, LOL, but I guess they don’t think those inputs are so worthy of it’s screen . . . The TV switched to all HDMI before anything else did!
