We are all painfully aware how expensive the GameCube component cables are. My question however is that why aren't PS2 component cables as rare? Only hardcore videophiles had the equipment capable to truly take advantage of the improved picture from component cables (hence why the GCN component cables failed miserably), so why are PS2 component cables so readily available? Even officially branded cables are only $30 compared to the GCN component cable's $300.
