Wii component cables sold out before being listed at Nintendo’s online store

Original word was that the Wii component cables would only be available online. Later it was announced that a few retailers would have them in stores on launch day. In anticipation I checked Nintendo’s online store every few days hoping to order a set before launch day fearing I’d be unable to find them in Canada. The result was that the Wii was never and still isn’t listed in the listing of systems in the store and up until a few days ago a search for “component” yielded only results for the discontinued Gamecube cables.

Well today a search showed the Wii component cables were in the store, not reacheable by navigating through the links but only with the search and most frustratingly of all sold out until at least November 28th already! These things are harder to get a hold of than the PS3!
