/vr/ - Retro Games

My OG GameCube I got on launch day in USA had died. It will no longer read any discs. What do? I heard later model GameCube's don't have the digital out, which sucks because I do have the component cables.
Is this common? Can it be fixed?

Even at 13 I never new I was so right, bros. I want to go back to that summer... I want to go back.
