Besides the enhanced visuals wrt the GB player as others have mentioned, I have read and seen a few image comparisons of folks saying that the Component out of a GC is slightly superior to that of the Wii with regard to GameCube games.

In fact I was just now watching the latest vid of this youtuber which talks about the difference in image clarity wrt to the various cable options on the GC.

Negative. Looks generic to me.

If I recall correctly, those are actually Sony products.

I use these though:

and I think they are great.

Logitech had some really solid wireless controllers for the Xbox/PS2 used to use my Xbox one all the time.

Agreed. I struggled to find a good, working wireless controller for my Xbox, and Logitech's first generation of wireless Xbox controllers simply are not very good. Then, I got one of these:

and I love it.

Hmmmmm no consensus on if they're official. Most knock offs don't us the Sony logo.

Zero lag on those Logitech controllers? I have a wireless Pelican that is great for RPGS & strategy games but I feel a very slight lag in action orientated titles.

My favorite handheld is the PSP with the Gameboy SP coming in a close second. Well you can imagine my excitement when I traded my Mario Kart 64 and Ranma 1/2 snes for the limited edition Spongebob Squarepants Gameboy SP.

Spongebob SP next to my everyday beater silver SP.

Cheap at a local flea market,

I guess a few years too late in terms of oXbox Live functionality. :P

Spelled properly on the disc, but on the box they kinda forgot one of the o's in Dragoon. :lol:

So I guess not quite legit :P
