This is so helpful! I accidentally bought two controllers with a 5ft cable and it saved the day! That was enough to light up our media room, and more! I would have preferred if it had a "tear off" design so the whole console doesn't fall off if someone trips over it, but it's ok anyway. The part that the controller connects to is actually very tight, so your cable will never fall out while playing! It's not very snooty either, so you can just leave it plugged into the controller and pack it up for storage along with the controller! Very epic! A must for GameCube enthusiasts!
