| Should I convert component consoles over to hdmi? |

So I'm working on getting my xbox/ps2/gamecube era consoles ready for nostalgia fun but I'm having a bit of a debate in my head. Should I get those little hdmi adapters for these consoles or just be cheap and use component? I know the picture quality difference will be minimal, but hdmi has the benefit of being fairly future proof as well as only having to run a single wire as opposed to a gigantic 5 cable mess. The main thing holding me back is I don't know how good these adapters are. I know there is one for the wii you can get for a couple of bucks. They make one for the ps2 but it's slightly pricier at around 10..... I don't know if that denotes quality or some random technological reason. I can't seem to find one for the original xbox.... If they can't make one then that might effect my decision as I'll have to deal with component anyway. I'm not bothering with the gamecube as the Wii can handle it just fine. None of this stuff is terribly expensive, but it does add up spread across several consoles and I'd rather not wait a month to find out they are junk anyway. I'm rambling, but it would be extremely helpful to me if anyone with experience with these adapters specifically made for one console would chime in. |

I've got this one: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00O58LOBW/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&psc=1 It defaults to the component input when powered on. Combined with a component splitter or a shitload of Y-cables you'd be good to go. I imagine there are cheaper options available now, but I've been pleased with it. |

That's not what I'm looking for.... I have a few converter boxes (none for component though) and I'm looking for a more streamlined solution. Something like this: Wii 2 Hdmi |

Do you need me to loan you $3.73? |
