Gamecube component video cable


Recommended Posts

I have been looking all over for a gamecube component video cable, but to no avail. Does anyone out there know where I can get one? I don't care who it is made by. I just need one!!!

Pelican Accessories also makes a component video cable for the Gamecube - at about half the price of Nintendo's. Good luck in actually -finding- it anywhere offline or online though. It's usually back-ordered even more than Nintendo's cable.

I looked all over central Jersey today for one. Nobody sells them outside Nintendo which makes ZERO sense to me.

Even Monster, one of the best third-party cable providers, didn't have one.

Nintendo is so clueless about component video. Why they won't license it to be sold is beyond me. Since it isn't readily available in stores, it gives the impression that GC can't do high quality video, but it can. Nintendo just chooses not to show off I guess.

It is true though that even if lower end tv's have component video inputs like mine does, there really isn't much advantage unless your tv is HDTV.

Did anyone check Best Buy (if you have one near you). I got a new Cube cable there, and the guy said they had tons in the back. including component ones.

If not, then just Lik-Sang it, or any other online shop.

My sales moron at BB said this:

"We don't carry component cables for Nintendo since kids use them on their little TVs".

I hate electronics stores morons.

Mike

wtf does that have to do with not carrying them!? :blink:

Wait a second... Starman, you, of all people, don't have a GameCube component video cable? I figured you would have ordered one direct from Nintendo of America before the 'Cube was even released.

I got mine a few months ago (from NOA) when I ordered a TV set with a component video input.

And that Best Buy employee is indeed wrong. Nintendo of America does not sell GameCube component (or even S-) video cables to retailers.

I bought a second GC for my kids with a new 20" TV. The GC that I use already has one.
