Stupid?  They could have put it inside the cube itself but then they'd have
to deal with heat dissapation, which would add more noise.  <shrug>  I'd
prefer the way it is over a noisy cube.

Anyway, the questions.

1. Does the Gamecube use the same Stereo RCA Composite (yellow, red, and
white) cables as the N64 and Super NES? I hope so because I have my SNES
hooked up now and I can just remove the SNES and its AC Adaptor but leave
the RCA plugs plugged in, for quicker hooking things up.

2. Does the Gamecube have an internal AC Adaptor, like the PlayStation 2 &
Dreamcast, so it would use a standard power cord, or does it have an
external AC Adaptor like older systems like the SNES and NES? I want to know
so I can make space for one of those bulky plugs on one of my power
strip/surge protectors.

3. How long are the controller cords on the Gamecube? I don't want to set it
all up and then find out I have to re-arrange everything for short cords.
Like, are they as long as N64 controller cords?

4. Why is time going so damn slow? Four more days is like an eternity it
seems.

** Sanrio **



Congrats on your new Cube.

1. Yes, same cords as the SNES, etc.
2. The Cube has the worst adapter of all the systems. It's not ino the
system, and it's not in the plug; it's midway between both ends. It's a
bitch because if yuor cords stretch to reach your systems, you now have a
five pound AC bundle to deal with.
3. The cords are short. Shorter than the PS2. I have to pull my Cube out on
the floor to sit back on my couch, while my PS2 is the same distance away
and I have no problem relaxing while I play.
4. Because God hates you.

~Matt





Only one other console I have is like the Gamecube as far as AC Adaptors,
and it's the Atari 400. That was stupid. I guess I'll probably put the
Gamecube on the low shelf (where the Dreamcast is) or who knows what.
Thanks.

I think I can only answer 2 and 3.

2) If you remember the Turbo Grafx cord, it's kinda like that.  The actual 
plug is standard size.

3) I don't have a ruler on me, but I'd say somewhere between 4 and 5 feet.  
Don't hold me to that, though.

I feel the same way.  It's no problem for me.  You know, with my recent 
Genesis purchase, I now have 7 systems (not counting the VCR) hooked up to 
my TV.  Anyone have me beat there?

More likely they did it so they could keep it smaller.   Noise is hardly an
issue, IMO.  Ever hear the DC?  Man, that thing is noisy, but I didn't even
notice it after the first day I had it.  Any respectable gamer will have
their volume cranked anyway :-)  I don't mind having the big box in the
middle of the cord as long as it's not dead center (I like it close to the
end with the plug).  I run all my equipment through surge protectors anyway,
so having to stretch a cord from a wall plug is not an issue since all my
surge protectors are just sitting on the floor.

Honestly, I rarely get the urge to play older games, so I usually ditch my

That one would probably go to Jed.  I'm beginning to think I got mine at the 
right time, since it's getting to the point where I can't find any.
