Well that explains why I can't find any for my GC. Thanks Nintendo you cockbites.
I actually found some brand new in-box this weekend for $5.
My envy of you knows no bounds. :D . My GC looks rubbish on my LCD TV running composite.

The only way to deactivate the ray beam and fight back the vampire alien threat is with a complicated series of foot patterns on the device's control board that looks remarkably like a DDR pad. We will all praise this man for saving our lives and buy him a mountain of stuffed animals.

They severely limited the supply, both in terms of quantity and purchase methods, they wouldn't let third parties make their own, and then they bitched about how few people were using the component cables, so they axed the port. Who's to blame for this, I wonder.
i think you can send your cube to nintendo to get them to replace it for one that has the port, also i have a laser-less cube with it. i can sell it cheaply.

Mine has the port, but I'm not ganna spend $70 for the cables. Plus I don't have an HDTV. On my last Gamecube, I had the Component to VGA cable hack.
