>how poor are you?
Not poor, but would rather get:
* 25 feet of *coaxial* RCA component cables (for R/G/B) for $7.35 (http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10235&cs_id=1023508&p_id=962))
* an additional single 25 foot, less shielded RCA cable for sync (it's not as important to have thick shielding on sync, and a normal shielded, non-coax RCA will work fine) for $1.79 (http://www.monoprice.com/product?c_id=102&cp_id=10218&cs_id=1021810&p_id=655)),
* four RCA to BNC adapters for $1.03 apiece ($4.12) (http://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=4121))
totalling $13.26 for 25 feet,

than:
* a 5 foot, multi-AV to SCART which costs $18.06 (£11.99), (https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/games-consoles/nintendo/super-nintendo/super-nintendo-entertainment-system-famicom-snes-n64-rgb-av-scart-cable-ntsc-tv-lead-wire-cord))
* a 1.6 foot SCART to BNC breakout which costs $19.57 (£12.99) (https://www.retrogamingcables.co.uk/sony-pvm/sony-pvm-scart-converter-bnc)),
totalling $37.63 for a whopping 6.6 FEET OF CABLE.

$40 for 26% of the length I can get for $15? And it's not even coaxial? No thanks. Even if I don't need cables that long, it goes to show just how much more I can get for my buck if I buy generic cables.

Here are some 75 ohm BNC's for $1.03 apiece. Just use RCA.

>he's probably implying people should mod their consoles for VGA or BNC out
Of course not, don't be an idiot. No one has BNC cables, and VGA cables are clunky and overkill and hard to connect to PVM's cheaply.
I recommend adding RCA jacks, which aren't asinine because RCA jacks are commonly available in America.

>What other means? Nobody ever talks about other means. It seems that 90% of people use SCART-BNC converters. Why does that make them a pussy?
You mean 'what makes them pussies?'.
Their fear of drilling holes in the back of their consoles where they'll never see them and paying so much to avoid it is why I said that.
