Dealing with all the wires with one console is bad enough, especially when you have other devices you attach to your TV set, but when you have more than one console, things can get crazy really fast if you're not careful. Here's an easy solution: use one component cable for all your consoles. XCM has released a new component cable that supports all platforms at once, including the PSP Slim. More details in the full article.

We just got word that peripheral maker VDigi Electronics has a solution for gamers who want to connect their Wii units to a CRT or LCD monitor in the form of a VGA cable.

According to the company, the cable is compatible with Wii units in all regions and is capable of producing high quality VGA output. For interested parties, the VD-W2 Wii VGA cable can be purchased at VDigi's online site (via our Read link below) for US$ 39.

Stocks are still available as of this writing and will be shipped within seven to 14 days. Some of the worth mentioning features include:

• Easy to setup and use
• Compatible with Japan, U.S. and UK version console Wii, backward compatible with Gamecube 480p supported games
• Provide high quality VGA output
• Clear crystal image quality
• No external power needed
• Support wide range of CRT/LCD monitors

The Read link below will also provide you with the cable's other specifications.

The folks at Wiinis.com apparently really like their Wii. So much so that they're starting to think that they've overworked their little white console a bit too much. A few graphical glitches started showing up in multiple games they were playing. At first they thought it was their 50 inch plasma that was having a problem, but when they switched to their 32" CRT, they pretty much got the same glitches.

Check out the images they took. Two shots of the plasma TV problems on the left, and a single shot of the 32"CRT problems on the far right.

   

Anyway from their report over at their site, wii (sorry) we now know that Nintendo tech-support is "refreshingly nice" and effective. Nintendo called Wiinis back after they called in for help, and they report that according to Nintendo, the glitches are probably due to the Wii's video card overheating and getting damaged. Good thing the Nintendo warranty is 90 days, so they can still get their damaged unit swapped for a new one.

We wonder how the glitches would look on a really, really big screen.
