To some, this may be old news, but others may not be aware. This message is meant to create awareness, communicate to GameCube owners, and pass along a message to Nintendo.
First:
Component Cables are amazing! Your picture quality is pure, clean, and crisp! Details jump out at you, images appear in 3D, and colors are vibrant! Lines are solid, and textures are clear.
Now, compare that to Composite Cables (the ones included with the GameCube; the yellow video only (with red and white for right and left audio respectively). Switch back to composite, and the picture quality is blurry, appears out of focus, and difficult to look at. Composite cables create images with soft blended lines. Your gaming quality goes down when you play on Composite.
Do yourself a favor, get a Component Cable now!!! (i'm not here to sell you cables, but Nintendo and Lik-Sang are both backordered)
I bought my first Cube in [Nov]'02 (Metroid Prime), and got the Component Cables directly from Nintendo in May'03. I've been playing on Component Cables since, this product is awesome and pure gold! I now have two Cubes with around 150 GC games; and looking for my second Component Cable (item is backordered).
To fully realize the hardware and software capabilities of games played on GC, get a Component Cable now. (And if your budget allows, go high definition and widescreen!) Trust me, you'll never want to go back to gaming any other way!!!
Second:
Nintendo stops the manufacturing of GameCubes with both Digital and Analog (DOL-001) output in May'04, and now only manufactures GameCubes with Analog output (DOL-101). Big N's Reason: only 1% of owners use the digital output. Read: Cutting costs, maintain margins to stay competitive; understandable in the business world. BUT, For consumers: Lower quality product, same price.
Yes, there's an alternative, to swap it out with Big N directly and get a re-manufactured version. So now, that means if you want a GameCube with both digital and analog AV out, you must go out and buy a NEW GC, SHIP it in, and get a[n] OLD/USED GC with the original functions. :shock:
This is a huge step backwards. The LCD flatpanel TV market is exploding in '05, and Nintendo is sticking it straight to [the] consumers.
Final:
Many of us grew up with Nintendo, and still love gaming on Big N's platforms. This means we are also power consumers with lots of disposable income. You know your target audience, I'm in it, and I'm telling you, you are wrong. Do not betray your audience, pushed enough, we will switch.
