Nicktendo Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 For non-HDTV owners desperate to play wii/gamecube games in 60hz and a with a better picture, they are now in stock at amazon.co.uk for the generous price of 17.99! They are sold out in all shops where I live (Leeds) and its likely to stay like that 'til next year. Snap 'em up quick! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Zyneth Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I'm tempted, but I think I'll wait till next year. Thanks a lot for the information though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Got a third party RGB cable for my Cube for a fiver and the difference was amazing so one of these is a priority purchase for me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chipseh Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 I had the Official RGB cable for my Cube (I had no idea they were so rare :S) ever since launch, and the difference was definitely noticeable. I went onto Amazon last night and ordered one, but again I had no idea that they were sold out all over the place. It's dispatching soon... lucky me I guess.

That Guy Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Excellent, thanks for that, I've ordered one for use on my tv, also got some component cables on pre order for use on the hdtv downstairs. They have some decent looking 3rd party ones being released on the 22nd. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sub-Parable Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 Are RGB cables compatable with all TV's that have a SCART input. I have a Sony Trinitron that my Dad got in '94. It can output in 60 HZ so would the RGB cable be an improvement over the boxed cables? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alan77 Posted December 16, 2006 Share Posted December 16, 2006 All sold out. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It can output in 60 HZ so would the RGB cable be an improvement over the boxed cables? I had a portable Sony Trinitron and the Cube looked lovely on it with an RGB cable.

Dolphin Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 DO you guys know which is better RBG cable or AV. And is oit really worth buying one of them??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CompSci Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 i just couldn't wait any longer so i brought the component cables for £25 http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&ih=017&sspagename=STRK%3AMEWN%3AIT&viewitem=&item=270066538887&rd=1&rd=1 but i have got 2 pre orders on the component cables when they are released to the uk, which will go on eBay (yeah i know, but i need the money) for some profiteering Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you have a non-HD TV then RGB will give you the best picture quality possible. I have the gamecube RGB cable and the difference is amazing. Thats why im trying to get hold of a Wii one!

Problematique Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Ack, they could've just made the thing compatible with the Cube RGB cable. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Yep! There would be nothing to stop them doing this. Nintendo are all about the money i'm afraid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problematique Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Although I think my Cube RGB cable worked with my N64. Eh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BlueStar Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Ack, they could've just made the thing compatible with the Cube RGB cable. Supposedly with a craft knife and a bit of trauma centre stile skills you can slice and dice some plastic and make it fit. It's the same cable with a slightly different sized placker plug on the end. If you destroy it or slice your fingers off it's not my fault though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Five Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Eeck i still remember getting 0/10 for wiring a plug in school (the wire just came out when the teacher held it) I don't think i'll risk DIY :p (destroy it yourself) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Problematique Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Hahah, I remember plug wiring in Physics. My teacher was a 65 year old with a sharp and slightly patronising voice: "Nooo, you're dead. Burnt to a crisp" Lolz. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wired69 Posted December 19, 2006 Share Posted December 19, 2006 Just checked my Play.com order and it looks like it is being processed! A bit suprising as the listing for the official Nintendo RGB cables has disappeared from their site. Luckily I pre-ordered it when if first appeared on the site for £14.99! They're also (finally) sending a spare nunchuck controller, shame it won't arrive before Christmas :sad: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
