I hope so. I just want the wii U to power on and you know, not overheat (Though apparently it has like 10X more internal fans working than on the wii.)

If it did overheat, that wouldn't be the fault of the cables. The first batch of a console has a higher rate of having technical problems, but hopefully the Wii U won't have that. Nintendo makes good hardware, my only Nintendo game systems that ever actually broke was my Wii and that was this summer (and I got it at launch), the motherboard went. Yet when I bought a 360, I got the red ring in one week, then got it replaced only to have a second one not even work out of the box, having to return that one for a third. Point being, Nintendo hardware tends to be fairly reliable, it should not overheat.

...wow, I ramble. I apologize for that!

Hopefully the wii U won't have a red ring esque problem.

Please help clarify on this, I'm a little worried.

But in the unboxing videos for the wii U, I never see that red, yellow, white cable thingy that comes with the wii and all of the other old systems... Just an HDMI cable. I don't have an HD TV of any kind and have no interest in getting one... So can someone please tell me how the wii U would work on older TVs? I don't wanna buy my wii u only to not have it hook up to my TV due to the lack of a Red, Yellow, White cable thingy...

the pack does not come with the composite cables, however the one that came with the wii will work , and you can buy a new cable for the wiiu...

During the holidays, I know for sure you can get fairly decent sized HD TV for just a little more than the price of 2 360 or PS3 games. Worth it? I think so :)

True, especially if you are willing to brave the Black Friday crowds. HDTVs already have gotten fairly cheap, I saw a fairly big one on sale at Best Buy the other day for only $250. A smaller one is even cheaper, and if you go black Friday I wouldn't be surprised if you could find one for around $100.

Of course, if your budget is tight enough that you can barely afford the Wii U, I suppose that isn't much help. Still, you should be fine with a standard definition TV, even if you don't see the games as pretty as they could be.

One problem: The only people that could take me to the store on black friday don't want to go.

You can always shop online than you dont have to go anywhere and just sit at home and have a new tv delivered to you.

Any sites where they would sell it for the MSRP?

I would check Amazon, or even places like Best Buy.com, Target.com etc. They usually have crazy sales on TVs this time of the year. And if you miss getting one or dont have the money now, TVs also go on sale around the end of January and beginning of February due to the Super Bowl.

No offense but you really should upgrade your tv. HDTV's are pretty cheap compared to what they used to be. I just cant see why someone would want to hook up an HD system like Wii U on anything but an HDTV!? I might settle for a component hook up if you have that on your older tv. But anything less you may as well just play a 480p Wii.

I have the same problem and it comes down to cost. At the moment HD tvs could be $100 and I still wouldn't be able to get one. All my money is going towards my wiiu preorder and I am not going to be able to pay it off for months.
Still, I can play HD when I visit my mum.

It's just an empty pot...

Yikes I'd buy a $199.00 32" HDTV before I buy a Wii U for $299.00...i'm just sayin......
