Cool stuff and good results, but for videogameperfection's price?
No. Freakin'. WAY.
For £167.00 (or $240 in big boy money), I could wait for a component/D-terminal cable to show up on eBay/Amazon at a comparable price (I got mine for $100 in June 2014 after waiting for a month or two), or I can get a WiiU+Gamecube adapter and play GCN backups via Wii Mode homebrew, which I actually have done already (the video quality on vWii is kinda balls, but I still get HDMI video and the ability to officially play the library of two whole other consoles). VGP's service is disgustingly overpriced and shouldn't be encouraged, especially when it's a less professional and more volatile solution.
No offense to Alex Olney, but I dunno why VGP's service was plugged here, almost a week later after Badass Consoles (pardon the profanity) announced GCVideo, a solution that aims to be cheaper (~$80 IIRC) AND with plans for a plug-and-play solution on the way later on in the year.
