HDMI cables for GC? I can't see how they would be necessary. I mean, I know that HDMI is currently the top-end consumer-level patch connection, but I seriously, seriously doubt that the GameCube's output was designed with true digital video signal output in mind, which means that the product being sold almost certainly is converting the base signal to analog and back to digital somewhere along the line, and would that not render HDMI rather impractical?
I don't know... HDMI will carry the signal with the least amount of signal degredation, but typically HDMI cables cost as much as four times what component cables do, and considering that the GameCube isn't designed to take advantage of what HDMI is really about (unconverted, straight digital video and 7.1 channel audio transfer), would the difference be anywhere near worth the extra money? Would there be a difference at all?
And, no DVI interface? It's a step between Component and HDMI, for the curious. Carries digital video on many separate levels, but I think it still has some digital/analog transfer. HDMI is the only completely digital patch cable out there, if memory serves.
