Oh damn, I meant to stop posting on this screen name at 10,000 and switch to the other one. I blew right past 10,000. I wonder how long it would take to delete 380 posts?
Edit-Wait, now it would be 381...

Hey, guy, I actually need a huge favor... I was wondering if anyone in the OTT knows where to get Gamecube component cables for cheap, or maybe they have a pair they wouldn't mind selling?

Playing Twilight Princess tommorrow in S-Video is going to be PAINFUL.

good guess.

Just watching someone play it though.

I got rid of my cube when i got my Wii, my cables are just sitting around now. I was planning on ebaying them but I think I'm too lazy.

Edit- Holy shit, those things are still going for $50?!?!?

I would try searching EB for used ones. Probably going to be hard to find, but I can't think of anywhere else that might have them for cheap. Maybe play-asia?

Component ones?

You want to work out a deal for them?

You mean like the night we kept starting new OTT thread's every 5 minutes. Now that was fun. Of course that was a while ago when bannings were rare.

I believe it was Casey who was stuck cleaning up that mess.
 
I still have 2 of the new tickle me elmos sitting in my closet I am not sure what to do with. There are tons of them on ebay so the prices are at MSRP right now. I will wait another week and 1 day auction them I guess.

The local paper had an article on resellers this year and how most of them got hosed on the PS3 and TMXs.

Oh, sorry, I didn't see that you had replied to my post. I think I might have spoke too soon about being too lazy to Ebay them, at $50 I may have to get off my ass about it. I dunno, I just can't decide.

The most I could offer is $30 right now through Paypal, since that's all I have in there, and I could pay you right now.

I'm not paying $50 for a fucking cable, Nintendo can lick my balls.

I sold the first 2 right away and made all my money back, then I held onto the other two thinking their price would climb come christmas. Turns out everyone had that plan in mind as there are 17,000 elmos on ebay right now.

Either way just by selling the first two I already made my money back, so these other two will be profit no matter what.

I'm absolutely shocked that they're still going for over original price. I figured with the Wii coming out the prices would tank.

You should just buy a Wii, the Gamecube's dead.

Given how few there are I would imagine Nintendo collectors aren't just going to toss them away.

It sucks for people like me who have to play Zelda in fucking S-Video on an HDTV.

I actually might not even buy the game anymore because it's going to look fucking shitty as all hell, so my only hope is (hopefully) finding some component cables.

I hate Nintendo so damn much... why even bother making your fucking games progressive scan if you can't get the fucking cables for it.

I don't want a fucking Wii anyways, the only game I'd want is Zelda and I can just get that on the Cube... besides, the Wii has no component cables that are easy to find right now anyways.

Meh, Nintendo collecting is overrated. I started getting into it for a little while there but there's too many hardcore people out there, I got scared of what the future could hold.

I still have to sell my sealed gamecube broadband adapter too. Its too bad those didn't explode in price like the component cables.

I ordered my Wii component cables from their online store last week and they shipped the next day. They should be here any day now.

Oh, and didn't you complain quite a bit about the 360 just days before you bought one? ;)
 
I think I am going to work most of tomorrow to turn the office upstairs into my gaming area as well. It is too fucking cold downstairs and I could put a couch up here as well so that playing 360 would be a better experience. Plus I could actually mount the speakers I am getting for my home theater as they should be placed on the wall.

Also need to go do some Christmas shopping and reformat my PC so that it is usable again (may wait on that since I want to backup the music I have on my hard drive).

Seeing that there was all of one game that even supported it officially (Phantasy Star). I can see why it never became much of a collectable.

Actually, this whole thing with the component cables pisses me the fuck off... I wonder how long it will be before Nintendo rips the component aspect out of the Wii as well.

It really makes me not want to fucking support them ever again in the future.

Hurray for playing games in S-Video and having them look like utter shit on an HDTV.
 
[quote name='Roufuss']Actually, this whole thing with the component cables pisses me the fuck off... I wonder how long it will be before Nintendo rips the component aspect out of the Wii as well.[/QUOTE]

I wouldn't get too worried Roufuss. There already are third party componet cables on the market for the Wii. We never got that for the Gamecube.
 
I'm so incredibly pissed off like you wouldn't believe.

At least I can just play Final Fantasy and forget that shitty Zelda ever existed.

I refuse to play it if it's going to look like jaggy garbage (which Gamecube games do on S-Video on an HDTV, considering I just tried some out right now)
 
I know the feeling Roufuss as I'm an HDTV owner myself. Tho to be honest the few 16x9 supported titles I've played on the Gamecube via SVideo looks very good. It might not look the *best* but its a far cry from looking horrible.

But I'll take Component over SVideo any day of the week.
 
[quote name='Demolition Man']And even then there wasn't much of a point since moding a Gamecube isn't too much work.[/QUOTE]

Yeah. I bought mine for warppipe and some multiplayer MK: DD and then they ended up making the godliness that is Mario Kart DS...

When you go from 360 running at 720p, and PS2 running at 480p, all the way down to Gamecube in S-Video, it's very very very noticeable.

The fact of the matter is this problem SHOULDN'T exist, why bother making your fucking games progressive scan enabled and then don't provide the fucking hardware to use it?

I never understood that either. They have progressive scan games all the way till the end and yet they claimed most users weren't using it. Hmm perhaps it had to do with how limited you made the freakin cables.

I have to use composite. :cry:
 
I guess I will just call up all 40 EB's / GS's in a 50 mile radius and hope I get lucky.

Zewone I probably have to use composite too since my s-video cables are some third party trash.

Good luck. Let us know if you score any.
 
[quote name='Strell']I also want to note the irony of "WELL NOW I'LL PLAY A DS GAME" in the light of your discovery.[/QUOTE]

I've always liked Nintendo's handhelds.

I haven't been a fan of their console systems since the N64.

It's a night and day difference.
 
[quote name='Strell']I also want to note the irony of "WELL NOW I'LL PLAY A DS GAME" in the light of your discovery.[/QUOTE]

Its kinda hard to play a DS game via component cable in 1080i now isn't it? ;)

(Of course in Strell land... anything with the power of Wang is possible)
