HDMI Cable - Who sells them apart from on-line?

    Hi, sorry if this has been done before, but I couldn't find a post on it apart from someone asking what it does.
    My question is can I get one in any of the shops that sell the Wii or do I need to buy one off e-bay? I'd rather get one over the counter if possible (unless it was priced rediculously).
    Thanks in advance for feedback!

    All the main game retailers should have them.
    (Game, Smyths, Gamestop, etc.)

    The Wii doesn't use HDMI - only component for 480p resolutions.
    These cables are two-a-penny in most of the major games shops right now.

    Like smokingman says, you can't get HDMI cables for the Wii, only component for 480p resolutions (I thought that was what the OP wanted).

    Component cables are around €30 (+/- a few euro)

    Apologies, ya it's the component I want, in order to avail of progressive scan facility. I thought they were refered to as HDMI cables for some reason.

    If you can stand the wait, you can also get one from the LedShoppe for 11 euro delivered to your door.
