Hybrid Gamecube

[Rig]

I would really like one of these. Allows you to play DVD's as well as Gamecube games. That said, I don't think it's worth $489.00! Here's some pics:

It kind of looks like a toaster

it's a pretty nice system, plays all region dvds if you have it unlocked.

I'm sure it's been posted more than that, since it's years old. Who cares?

Its been out since the Gamcube launched. I had one when they first came out. Not all they are cracked up to be. They are very nice looking though. Plays alot of DVD's, supposedly was region free with a hack. But I found it to be annoying. It played more what it felt like playing. Just a heads up.

Or... you could get a GC, Xbox & a PS2 for that price

There are also much cheaper region free DVD players to be found. I got mine for under $100 and it's a rock solid Philips.

Yeah, but that's.. missing the point!

[zewone]

Yeah. It's about your GC being able to play DVDs.

people are finding out about this just now?

I hear you, man..

Yeah, I see that, but I'd rather just duct tape my GCN to a good region free DVD player and save the extra $200. :D

i almost bought one yesterday off ebay, but it went a bit higher than i hoped.
I just want one, i dont know why.

I know it's been out for a long time. But I brought it up again because I am interested in getting one. Just thought others would want to see some pics. Geez, everyone is so testy around here. :)

I have one of these, but I have never tested the PAL dvd playback, but all of my DVDs are Region 1. I love it, Nintendo should look at this unit as a basis for their next machine. Having Panasonic doing the DVD chipset seems to work better than the PS2 or Xbox offerings, I've found their DVD playback a bit suspect and clunky.

Granted you will pay a premium (good luck finding a Q Gameboy player, I might have bought the last one) :wink:

It's certainly a unique item, that has not yet once failed to recieve and 'Ohh thats neat' from visiting friends.
