5.0 out of 5 stars Worth the $$$!, March 1, 2008

This review is from: Gamecube Component Video Cable (Video Game)

If you own a compatible Gamecube and a HDTV, then you will certainly see the difference the 480p Progressive Scan mode makes! Colors pop, details become clear, and everything looks better. A large percentage of Gamecube games support 480p. Even if you don't have an HDTV, as long as your TV has component inputs, you will notice a video quality improvement!

This review is from: Gamecube Component Video Cable (Video Game)

The Gamecube Component Video Cable is as rare as birds' teeth nowadays, and therefore, when you do find it, it is hideously expensive. Also, only Gamecubes manufactured prior to 2004 are able to use it. But if you have one of the early model Gamecubes, and if you can afford the price of the cable, then it is well worth the purchase. Compared to the standard Composite video cable, which can only show Gamecube games in murky 480 Interlaced mode, the Component video cable shows Gamecube graphics in sharp, clear, almost-high definition 480 Progressive mode.

On the other hand, if you have a Nintendo Wii, which is backwards compatible to Gamecube games, then you have another choice. Component Video cables for the Wii are as common (and as inexpensive) as dirt. That would let you play Gamecube games in their full graphical splendor at a much more affordable price. If you are a gamer on a tight budget, then this would probably be a better choice for you.

If, however, you are still playing a compatible Gamecube and have a TV with Component inputs, and if you can afford the inevitably high price, the Gamecube Component video cable is definitely a worthwhile investment.

=====

By the way, there are two ways to check to see if your Gamecube is compatible with the Component video cable:

First, look on the back. If, immediately next to the port labeled "Analog AV Out" there is a second port labeled "Digital AV Out", then your Gamecube is compatible. If "Digital AV Out" is not present, then your Gamecube is not compatible.

Second, look on the bottom at the largest sticker. If, near the top-left corner, you see a serial number that reads "DOL-001", then your Gamecube is compatible. If the serial number reads "DOL-101", then your Gamecube is not compatible.

Yeah, it's expensive.

But I do have a 50" Plasma (hooked up to my home theatre for audio), and the games look great.

In the process of getting as many progressive scan games as possible. Just do a web search.

I think the Cube never got a fair shake.

Metroid Prime, Mario Golf,........it's worth it!
