Just look at this!:

"Matsushita has revealed a new version of the Nintendo Gamecube, which was seen in prototype state for the first time at this year's E3 show in Los Angeles.

The console is slightly larger than the regular Gamecube casing and is silver in colour with a digital display on top. The unit will support the playback of DVDs, video-CDs and audio CDs, while still containing the Gamecube's core hardware technology to play games.

Fumio Otsubo, Matsushita's managing director said: "Our hybrid digital audio visual product will be superior to PlayStation2." As yet, neither a price or release date has been confirmed for the unit."

It won't let me display the picture but go to www.consoledomain.co.uk and it will be in the news section -it looks totally different to the normal GameCube!!!!

(If any of you can get the picture into this forum - that would be great!)

I'll try to stick a picture on, however I think only certain staff members can do it.

Anyway, I think Panasonic's version looks a lil wierd. And I'm more likely to buy the original Gamecube cos I'll be getting a DVD-rom drive on a new PC when I eventually get one.

Here goes nothing....:



I bet this doesn't work and just shows the code....

The reason they didnt include one in it was to reduce cost, also the GC uses are smaller than Normal dvds, (normal 12cm, Gc 8cm). Nintendos mentallity towards consoel is that they should be for Gaming not for watching dvds. remember what happened on the ps2s release day in japan, nobody bought any games, only dvds.
