Official vs unofficial Wii RGB SCART cables

[rgc]

Here's my question. I want to get an RGB SCART cable for my Wii, but the official Nintendo SCART cable is rather expensive -- £20! Non-official SCARTs are significantly cheaper, as you can see here in this Amazon.co.uk comparison. My question is, has anyone tried out the non-official SCARTs and compared them to the official product? Is there any difference?

Be sure that the aftermarket ones are in fact RGB SCART and not composite SCART. I remember in the past that some of the extremely low end cables were mislabeled this way for other systems.

I suggest getting the cheapest cable with a brand name attached of a good peripheral company. Pelican, Mad Catz, Nyko etc..

I agree with Cypher. make sure it is a REAL RGB Scart cable. But thrid party / cheaper ones will work just the same. I am using a really cheap one $10.00 USD (about 5 pounds) and it works just the same as the official one my brother uses.

SORRY Ciper... Read too quick and typed in your handle too fast

Just bought the Allcam RGB SCART for £5. Very noticeable improvement -- can't imagine it'd be any better with the official cable.
