Yes take a look at the Nintendo Gamecube DVD Player-Games console. Updated.
Sexy indeed, the look is better than the dreaded design of the PS2.
Complete with top of the range video outputs Digital Streaming and DTS output coding, its enough to rival the DVD'Ness of the PS2.
If you look at the thing there is really a lot to it, isn't there?.
The guys at NCSX opened the thing up, disected it bit by bit and quite frankly it's not hard to see why and how it was so easily and quickly modded for multi-region(DVD and Games).
Geez, it even sports the Miyamoto designed Gamecube controller complete with the Matsushita emblazoned Panasonic logo in absence of the Big N's.
Its nice, but yet if it where released here in Europe I wouldn't get one, if Sony had of offered two different PS2's I would of opted for the stand alone, simply because I already own a DVD player and with this 'Q' I don't need another DVD. I'll go for the Gamecube standalone instead.

GOD that is such a bad idea.

Um, that's because it's got a DVD drive and they've put some dedicated DVD gubbins in it.

A lot of people see differently and quite like the idea of their PS2 playing DVDs. In fact, I've just finished one now. Still, it looks nice though. I think it's only an "answer" to the PS2. If you want a DVD player with a GC you can. However, if I was going to get a GC, I'd get the Panasonic one, basically because the other one looks shi...
