I ordered the 10th of February shipped on the 12 expected delivery between the 14th and 20th. That whole time no tracking information was available for my order. I thought it may be because of the bad weather in the Midwest. But on the 21st it finally said it was delivered on the 15th. Which it wasn't. I went to my local post office and found out it was delivered to another city and state the same day it supposedly was delivered to me off the same tracking I.D. Come to find out it they have been printing double shipping labels to avoid shipping fees.
Uggghhh, that sucks. I ordered mine directly from Amazon. It may have cost a little more than some of the other places, but free two day shipping (I'm a prime member). Though I think they are back ordered at the moment, because mine won't arrive until the 25th. Good luck jhon.
Same here Amazon is the way to go!!! If you payed through PayPal open a case!!!
I was thinking of buying a dedicated CRT WEGA Sony, which are going for around $30-$50 on Craigslist, but I am definitely going to consider VGA being an input option and pick two of these up if things go this way.
Got my cables in yesterday. Didn't get much time to play though. It looks awesome on my 120hrz 50 inch HD TV. Pics to come soon! Any games you guys would like to see from my collection? (Note these will be pictures from my phone, not actual screen shots from the tv.)
Just in case somebody else needs these here is the link.
If you plan on getting these cables, I highly recommend buys this with it as well, even if you dont need it right away, you may need them if you goto a friends or have to switch monitors.
I purchased a cable similar to this from China and hooked it up to a VGA to HDMI scaler. To do that you need a cable that can make both audio cables end in a 3,5mm audio jack. These days I play my DC games in 1080p.
I finally got the cords I ordered from Amazon on Monday. Had to get the audio adapter from radio shack cost me another $9. Still cheaper than official BAG box. Worth it but going to look into cheaper options for the TAX to headphone adapter online.
Got myself one of these to use on my main TV and it works great! I also bought a VGA-to-HDMI upscaler since my TV doesn't have a VGA input and it makes it look amazing! Check out my video on it below.
Anyone Else purchase the new Component cables mine just came in and it is a nice improvement on CRT not sure if there are much benefits of it vs VGA...

The VGA port on the OSSC is a passthrough port, which means that it does not have any additional features or adjustments compared to the other ports....
So I ordered these bitfunx cables recently. I would have picked up component cables from a different manufacturer but these seem to be the only ones...
