The reason I say this is because you say edges look like they're moving, this is usually an optical illusion caused by interlacing (SDTV signals consist of 2 adjacent sets of 240 lines of pixels, alternating back and forth, this is why things look like they are moving.) Just because you hooked up the Wii using Component cables does not automatically set it into 480p, I don't think. Try it.

For the record, this means it was probably also happening on your old TV, just that SDTV's were intentionally blurry to hide this.

I had it set to 480p right when I got my component cables. You're probably right about my old tv being blurry to hide the problem. Even so I do agree with Malmer that the texture, detail, and colors do look a whole lot better since I started using 480p with my component cables so this offsets the con of which I spoke of.

There's nowhere I can't reach.

Good luck Cobalt. I hope that you'll be able to get one and join the rest of us in all the fun we're having.

This thing is sticky, and I don't like it. I don't appreciate it.

Nice to hear that you both got a Wii. Congrats and enjoy this system's greatness as we all have been.

I am a dolphin, do you want me on your body?

Totally agree SOLDIER. I too swing that thing around like there's no tomorrow. I usually hit myself with the cord so a wireless nunchuck would be a splendid idea.

I was speaking idiomatically.
