New Wii ?
As far as I can tell the only upgrades they've made to the Wii are Black and now Red.

thanks but although that is a good product there won't be any sound out will there? The reviews all talk about picture quality? does it do audio through hdmi also?

we got a wii for the young one this year, only a month old and no HDMI sorry. It does however have the capacity to cause blazing rows and blunt trauma to the head when the controller is used too enthusiastically.

YMMV

Why do you need HDMI , as i recall the wii isn't capable of 1080p or i, not even sure if it will go to 720p, so a HDMI wouldn't give you any advantage over what's there already if you get me. :scratch:

You're correct Mike it is standard def only.
