Hey. Are you kidding me. Why is Component Cable so damn expensive. $50. I only paid $30 for my X360 cables on ebay. Are they nuts. There just cables. Where is the cheapest price. And I am talking real cheap. Not $44 at JB Hi Fi. I am talking cheaper than that. And before you say it. Yes. I have money. But I refuse to pay $50 for a cable. Its just a damn cable. It cost me less for my expensive speaker cables. Geez. Are they trying to make a profit by selling the cables so expensive.

But you've got so much money, remember? What's $50 when you've got thousands to spend on a PS3 and every launch game?? And you said it was your last post like twice!!

Every online site, game site. Has them around $50, plus you have to pay postage. And its going to take forever to get them from UK or Asia on ebay.

like i said in the other thread, surely an AVID GAMER would be dedicated to supporting original licensed hardware?!?!? I'm not even as 'hardcore' as you but at least I'm willing to pay to experience my gaming the way it was intended. You'll never know if you would have gotten a better picture from Nintendo's component cable for the Wii.

Sucks to be you.

$50 is expensive but it does make ALL your games look better, so if you have 10 games, then it is only $5 per game ;-)
