And I'd just like to add s-video seems to vary with televisions. My old Toshiba had fantastic s-video and my JVC s-video was just a decent step up from video. On my JVC, the difference between its unimpressive s-video and component is pretty significant (480i). It's why I'd never buy a new Gamecube if my old one failed. No component is a sin.

But you can buy them at EB.borghe said:

You can buy them at virtually ANY retail store that sells videogame products (EB, for example, as ASM said...). There is quite a price range as well (from $10 - $60+). Ordering online is a pain in the ass and it was NOT a pleasant experience for me. It took Nintendo 3 days to even send me a confirmation that the cables were being sent...and it took well over a week for them to arrive. I was not happy...
I ordered my GC component cables through play-asia.com while importing some other stuff.
Nintendo's Japanese accessories come in simple boxes... unlike North America's Plastic from hell shells.
It's a shame Ninty took out the digital out on the newer GCs. Because Crystal Chronicles in pro-scan is godly.

The GCN component cable doesn't come in a box or a blister package, just in a plastic bag.
$30 isn't too bad of a price for the cable, but with shipping, taxes and all that when ordering from Nintendo.com it comes out to almost $40 =P
But the video quality is very much improved from s-video...games like Mario Golf and Mario Kart look so much better on my HDTV (hi-res, very vibrant colors), so the cable is very much worth it for me.

Finally bought a new PSP, but then pushed the demon onto someone else. Jesus.
Huge difference in IQ on non-progressive sets. It's the only way to fo 480p other than a hack.

I've been running S-Video up until Sunday, and now am in component. It's a huge improvement, and while S-Video looked good, this is WAY better. Highly recommended.
Nintendo should be smacked for pulling out component and not selling these damn cables in US stores. You can buy these cables in almost every store in japan. LAME.

Wasn't Mad Catz putting a component switcher out? I know I read that sh!t like a year ago, but I never go into gaming stores anymore so I haven't kept up.
