To anyone here that is interested... and I know it's come up a ton lately.

Comp USA has a ton of these that work perfectly for the Neo Geo home system for $13.99. Anyone that wants them now has no excuse to not have them. ;)

For those that live outside the US that can't seem to find these anywhere, I would be happy to buy them for you as well. This isn't really me selling, as it's more of an awareness issue. That's the thing I always hated about my Neo, the controller cords are way too short.

You don't even have to cut any plastic off or anything like some here said they had to. Not this kind. Belkin. :)

Interesting. Do you have a part number/model number?

I may run to Comp USA to buy these!

Thanks!

FUCK!!!

Now, two days after purchasing a par from ebay, this comes up. WHERE WERE YOU TWO DAYS AGO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! :mad:

I only spent $2 more per pair than the ones you speak of but I have to mod mine. Oh well, this is what happens when impatience gets the better of us. <img src="graemlins/ohno.gif" border="0" alt="[Oh No]" />

Yeah, many need them, and yet not many know about them for whatever reason.

Belkin DB15 male to female. Great little cables that work right out of the package. Again, if no one here has a Comp USA, I can buy them and ship them to you for free (well, the price of the cables and the shipping, heh).

I went to CompUSA a few days ago and bought one for the same price 13.99.

There is a guy on Ebay who is selling them for $29.99 with shipping.......... I bought one from him before I went to the computer store.

Dont buy them from Ebay...You will PAY Double the price :mad: :mad: :mad: It also took well over a week for the guy to send it to me.....dont buy these from him.

The packaging you see in the Auction link is just homemade.

The CompUSA Store in Seattle has tons of these, and the guy said they havent sold them for a long time.

I went and checked it out, they still have to be cut to fit in the neo. I have two of them and had to cut to fit. It was not hard at all. <img src="graemlins/smirk.gif" border="0" alt="[Smirk]" />

I didn't have to cut mine one bit. Just boom bam get in my Neo! ;)

Daigo: In the cable section with the printer cables and what not!

NeoNewGuy: I will send you a PM. I can tell you right now that after taxes and shipping, I can get you two for 34 big ones (that's two for one on ebay, lol). ;)

That's cool, saved me having to ask Kennyboy to pick me up two more of them. ;)

He's just gotten 4 of them for me, afterall. Modding some stuff for me. I give him nothing but the highest respect.

And Spike, I know you're cool, I've been around.

Man, I just paid that guy $22.99 for one of those Neo Extension Cables on EBay 2 weeks ago. Now I am trying to sell it because I no longer have my Neo and am getting a Sigma.

heh...you've been scammed way worse than you think:

That Neo extension cable is just a Woods cable, compare:

They're often on auction and they usually sell for about 5-8 dollars:

But they can be bought for as low as 2 bucks:

Just hit buy-it-now on the above auction. At $5.50 shipped, I have a Genesis 6 button that needs modding <img src="graemlins/drool2.gif" border="0" alt="[Drool 2]" />

LOL! I mean such auctions are there ALL the time...

Keep in mind that you'll HAVE to cut it a bit: note that the one bought by robert has been cut also (you see it clearly in the pic).

To be honest, I've never seen this one. Cutting it isn't much of a problem but the price is right. Thanks for the link, regardless. :cool:
