Yeah, I wish I had paid attention to this thread beforehand. Now that I might be picking up an HDTV this is kind of irritating, but I'm resourceful and am looking into getting a set from Japan for about $50-$60 (still a bit much, but what can you do?).

It seems almost certain the Wii will use different cables so I can't sell mine since I'm keeping my Cube as well as getting a Wii, but cashing in is tempting.

I have owned every generation of Nintendo, except a Super Nintendo ... those years during college when I was broke, and I have never owned any other platform. ... there will have to be some great platform games to have me buy a Wii.

I still have mine for sale for $50 if any Talkers are still interested. A few of you sent e-mails but no one has bought them yet. I should just cash-in on eBay but I figured I'd give a fellow board member a good deal ($50 is what I payed for them, so thats what I'm charging)
Anyone can e-mail me if they want.
(Mods: I know this isn't exactly the right forum for sell/trade but it IS relevant to the thread )

Has anyone tried one of these component cables for the GameCube?

For such a low price, I'm willing to risk it.

The reason they cost so much is because Nintendo is packing extra hardware into the cable itself, to save on the manufacturing costs for the GC. Thats what makes it so hard for third party companies to duplicate.
Anyway, I'm mainly posting this because just yesterday I was listening to some extremely uninformed Gamespot staff on their podcast .
