And for that, you could buy yourself a UK GameCube, a multiregion DVD player and a cheap surround sound system.

Plus, it's always better having a stand alone DVD player than one in a console.

The PS2 one especially, is extremely annoying. You have to put up the volume to maximum in order to drown out the constant humming of the PS2 itself.

If you sell your cube when you get freeloader, it's really only another £300. Sort of.

Then again, not sure if there'll be a gba player specially for the q, which has little feet on the bottom that look like they'd stop the thing fitting on at all.

Oh, wait... got one :^)

Doesn't do uk games though, you need freeloader for that. If anyone's interested, I plan on doing a buyers guide when i have freeloder and can be sure it runs okay.

The gba player would look pap on it though :^)

It looks good and the idea of it is good. However its too expensive and pointless if you already have a GC. If it was released when the other consoles were released when the xbox was still priced at £300 it would have sold. I don't think it will sell as well now.

Where did you read that? Only importers sell modified consoles, and thats because its them that do the modding.
