like everybody's already said, this won't make your wii up to par with the xbox360 or ps3 (not that you want to; graphics don't make a game, fun does). however, better quality games like re4, zelda, and prime 3 look that much better, as well as the channels. must buy for those with component-ready tvs.
btw, halo 3 is a joke.

This product does exactly what it's supposed to do. Easy install and with a few system settings I was playing metroid prime 3 in 480p on my 65 inch tv. 480p looks way better than 480i. The jaggies are more prominent but the picture is sooooo much better that I hardly notice them. I went with the Nintendo brand since it was only 10 bucks more than the knock-off. Since it's an analog cable, I was a little skeptical of the knock off and figured that Nintendo would build a better cable for their system. If it were a digital cable (HDMI) I would have bought the cheapest I could find. Read up on digital vs. analog cables if you don't understand. Highly recommend this cable if you have a wii and a TV with component inputs.

This video component cable for the Wii does not make a big difference.
Also, do note that the Wii will not play some games on a widescreen TV, despite the cables and screen settings. Play with your nintendo wii settings, as for example, Mario Party 8 starts with your whole wide screen, but the games show as if you had a regular 4:3 ration screen, not cool! and also harmful for your TV, as it will burn the sripes shown on the screen.
Aside from that, it's a neat addition to hook up something to those new video component entries on your new widescreens LDS and Plasma TV's, folks, nothing more really to it. If you're enjoying the Wii with regular AV cables, stick to those, unless you want to make space for something else on those slots.

These component cables are a big improvement over the composite cables. It's especially noticeable on a 65 inch screen.

When I connected these cables I noticed a definite improvement in my Wii's image quality. The system is still only capable of 480p resolution, of course, but these component cables provided better colors and sharper images, even though I experienced some of the jaggedness that other reviewers have complained about.
That said, do you need THIS particular set of component cables? Probably not, and in this case it seems that you're paying extra for little more than the Nintendo name. If you can get these cheap it may be worth it--if not a set of third party cables will give you the same effect. If you have a component input on your TV I'd recommend something like this, though I can't say I think these Nintendo cables give you an advantage over those from a third party.
