Title: Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 23, 2006, 01:11:28 PM
If you look for the Wii cables on store.nintendo.com, you'll get this message

Orders entered prior to Wednesday, November 22, 2006 will be shipped in the next couple business days. Orders entered on or after Wednesday November 22, 2006 will ship when our new quantities arrive (week of December 18, 2006)

Awesome news, since I ordered mine either on Sunday or Monday. Just wanted to let those who ordered when they were sold out and saw the recent 12/18 message that they may be in luck.

I inquired about the cables I ordered on 11/15/2006.  This inquiry was made BEFORE the update to the store web page.  I just got this response today.

Hello,

Thank you for contacting Nintendo.

I checked your order status and found that your order, #xxxxxxx, was currently on backorder and is due to be shipped to you on approximately December 18th
via UPSGround.

You may check the status of your order at our online store (http://store.nintendo.com).  On the main page for the store, select the "Order Status" button.
You will need to provide the order number and zip code used for the order.

I hope this information helps.  Please let us know if you have any further questions or concerns.

Sincerely,

Nintendo of America Inc.

11/15 is before 11/22 so I don't know what the deal is.

I sent  another note to try and clear up the two different responses.

Yeah, I ordered mine quite a while before 11/22 and mine still says "backordered."  Not cool.

woo. My component cables shipped today, check your order status. I ordered mine on 11/15. UPS Red = Delivered tomorrow.

Ah, mine says preparing order now =D

I thought today was the 28th all day, which is why I was nervous >_>

Hmmm. It's the next day and it still says "preparing order". Of course, it's only 7:26 in Nintendoville...they must not be open yet.

I ordered on the 20th but mine still says "backordered"  DOH!  I wonder if it makes a difference because mine will be shipping from Nintendo Canada?
Title: RE: Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo
Post by: 31 Flavas on November 28, 2006, 06:40:36 AM
Maybe, but i'm sure the orders are also being filled in the order recieved.

So I ordered mine on November 22nd, however, on the order page it says they are preparing order and I even  have a UPS tracking number.  Guess there were a few left over for those of us that ordered on the 22nd.

Post by: ProtoNY on November 29, 2006, 12:31:23 PM
Mine still says "Preparing Order" and I ordered on the 18th.  It has said "Preparing Order" for the last two days now.  I've had something similar happen with another retailer, and it still said the the order was processing when I received it - so it is now just wait and see.

Mine still says preparing order - I called NOA and they said everything should be fine with my order. I did next day shipping though, so I would assume I would have gotten it today, especially since I received a separate UPS order (my $15 2GB SD card from buy.com). Here's to hoping for tomorrow! I've read there's a really bad snow storm in Washington though, and a recording on NOA's phone line mentioned this, so there might be some delays because of this.

I got an e-mail from nintendo sometime since Monday (at least I think, too lazy to go look) saying that mine have shipped.
Title: RE: Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo
Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 30, 2006, 07:10:40 AM
Finally just got my e-mail saying they shipped, 2 days after they were supposed to. They better be here tomorrow, I'll be really pissed if I have to wait until Monday.

I got mine today, and already using them.
Title: RE: Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo
Post by: WuTangTurtle on November 30, 2006, 09:18:46 AM
my shipment tracking says I'll get them on the 4th of Dec.  I chose the slow shipping so anyone ordering the faster shipping will get them days before me.

Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 30, 2006, 10:08:12 AM
Good. As long as I get them before ShaolinKilla, it will all have been worth it.

Shipped 11/29, should arrive 12/6 via snail :-/

Post by: BranDonk Kong on November 30, 2006, 01:52:48 PM
Sweetness! On times for scheduled delivery tomorrow. What sucks is I got stuff from UPS yesterday and today as well, but neither were my component cables, although yesterday was my $15 2GB SD card from buy.com.

try calling Nintendo up, maybe they made a mistake.  Who knows maybe they'll give u a gift for the mistake.

Ah, the clarity (and the more apparent jaggies) of Zelda...it's...beautiful. 480p FTW.

Mine finally "shipped" earlier "today", but the tracking option still doesn't appear in UPS's system.

GROWL!  H8chu, Ninty.

Keep in mind Nintendo's on the West Coast, so their stuff leaves the warehouse a little after 7:00pm Pacific.

Mine shipped on the 28th, and I got them the next day.  Still no freaking Wii though...

Yeah, mine says shipped, but UPS still doesn't seem to be tracking the order yet.  What gives?
Title: RE: Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo

Ordered mine on 11/27.  They shipped and should be here on the 4th.

Update: Okay so I ordered on the 19th. Checked today the 2nd. (But probably was updated on the 1st) Doesn't say processing, it says "Shipped"... it says it WAS shipped on the 4th :P . Express shipping 3-5 days, hopefully before next weekend!

Yah I wish I could go pick it up. It'd probably be like a 30 minute drive for me!

my cables are "in transit" at this moment.....question, does UPS move packages on a sunday, I got 2nd day air and it was shiped saturday......does that mean i'll have my cables monday?
Title: RE:Update on 1st party component cables ordered from Nintendo
Post by: ryancoke on December 04, 2006, 03:11:22 AM
yay! Mine finally says "prepping order". Although I've seen some orders take a week to prep   I hope it comes soon. Every time I play Zelda with the composite cable I die just a little bit...

Wow, my cables shipped and are at Vancouver right now!  That's pretty close to me (one province over).  Hopefully i'll have them before friday!  I'm 10 hours into Zelda now and I'm tempted to restart when I get the componant cables.

Yah Monday it said in Richmond, BC sorting plant. At 7:56pm. At 7:07am this morning "out for delivery"... but didn't get! Maybe Wednesday I guess!

Update: Finally got them, And I will say they are worth the money and wait. Yes, you do notice more jaggies, but it also depends how close you sit they will be noticeable (or TV size), and the amount of clarity and detail that is improved is worth the jaggies. I'd rather have crisp moving gameplay that fuzzy ghost-like gameplay!

Post by: BranDonk Kong on December 06, 2006, 04:46:58 PM
New games will probably lack the jaggies that launch games tend to have. Anti-aliasing is your friend.

Yeah.  For me it was the difference of seeing that yes indeed Link actually had a face.
