Thanks to some good friends of mine, I was able to get one of Wal Mart's Gamecubes today without even getting out of bed! Gotta love that!

Question though, I know that you can get a set of component cables for video, but is anybody making a set of component video with toslink as well? I've found plans on the net for making an adaptor to do it, but I'd rather buy something pre-built that has both. Way better than plopping down $30 for just the component output from Nintendo.

TIA,

Digital Optical audio.
And no, the only available component cables are from nintendo, and they don't come with fiber optic audio cable, so you're outta luck afaik

Argh. That's what I was afraid of. Maybe it's time to warm up the soldering iron and see what I can build!

Thx,
