Gamecube Component Cables
 

I've been considering getting component cables for the gamecube because we just got an LCD rear projection tv. Yes I know that they're discontinued, but it possible to get them on ebay. I was just wondering if you guys think that the games will look much better with component cable? I'm not sure if Nintendo made the games so that they would look much better with component because I noticed how they took the component feature off. I also looked on ebay for them..and they're going for expensive prices. Maybe it would be a stupid idea considering that the Wii is coming out later this year and I probably won't be playing my gamecube as much.

How was your first year of college?

It'll look better, but damn if it isn't expensive.

The cheapest I found was $49 for japanese cables. I can link you if you want. They're the same as the American ones.

If you could send me the link that would be cool.


Gamemaster: First year of college was an interesting experience. I had a tough schedule though, being a freshman engineering student.


Anyway, component cables..yay back on topic I guess..

I was pretty sure Nintendo still sold them on their website, or at least last I checked they still did.

Re: Gamecube Component Cables
 

No. They discontinued it a while ago.

Re: Gamecube Component Cables
 

It doesn't have the price for the cables..are you sure it's only $49? I trust that it is, I just want to be completely sure.

Re: Gamecube Component Cables
 

Not to derail your thread, but how was engineering? What branch? And how tough was the first year? I got computer engineering coming up.

Holy christ, sorry about that! They ran out of stock from the time I saw it to the time you clicked my link. Sorry about that.

Yeah, they were having a bit of a sale. I got Giftpia for $20 and Nintendo Puzzle Collection and Mr. Driller: Drill Land. :D And the freeloader was only $15. :D

It's all right Dyne. I'll just keep on looking.


I'm going into Civil and Environmental Engineering, or at least that's the whole title at the University of Pittsburgh. I'm not going to focus as much on environmental engineering. I'm thinking about working with big structures such as bridges, buildings, dams, tunnels, etc..and yes the first year was tough because it consisted of Calc 1 and 2, Physics 1 and 2, Chem 1 and 2, and then Programming 1 and 2. I'm good at all of those, but all at once can be very rough. I don't know what the curriculum will be like for you, but you might not have a freshman engineering program at your school. Pitt has one year where you take all of those classes and then you enter your field.

I'll have Calc 1 and 2, Physics 1, Chem 1 and 2, and some other gen ed classes like English. It'll probably be easier than what you have, and I might actually be in remedial chemistry for my first semester as I never really took a real chem class in my life. Good times I say. Sounds like fun, you'll be making good money in the end.

Check the link again, they're back in stock.

Re: Gamecube Component Cables
 

Awesome, thanks Dyne.


I also just found component cables here, but they're more expensive.

I just thought I'd add the link so people in the future can get them there if they're out of stock at play asia.

Re: Gamecube Component Cables
 

NCSX is always more expensive. Probably because they have more selection, or something.

I just got my games from Play Asia today, and I'm really satisfied with my purchases. They came in a week just like they promised, and that's to Canada with the slowest shipping possible.
