I recently got a HD tv and have started looking for the component cables for my GC, but I havent had much luck. So I do a quick look over at playasia and found this (http://www.play-asia.com/paOS-13-71-24-49-en-70-ll.html). Its kinda hard to see for sure, but it looks like a VGA cable. Does anyone know if it will hook up to the digital out on the GC? If that is so, could'nd you get a VGA to component breakout cable and hook it up that way? Has anyone used one of these cables? Im not so sure I want to be the guinea pig for this, but If I cant get these cables soon, I may just try it.

it's only $29.99 so anyone that got their off e-bay and payed more then $40.00 got ripped off.

Nintendo seriously makes a VGA cable for the Cube? First I've heard...

I don't think it's a VGA cable. I vaguely remember reading something along the lines of a Japanese only plug on TVs called a D plug, and this looks like it.

I looked around last night, and it is the same connection as a vga cable. Some people said they had to mod the cable, but I didnt find anything about that. Luckily, Ive got my component cable on order now.

Still expensive with shipping. But it's the cheapest you'll find. Today tuesday I ordered the component cables. Which are hard to find.
