"Matshutisa (Panasonic) GAMECUBE"

There will be a Gamecube that can play DVD's!!!! Instead of bearing the Nintendo GAMECUBE logo, it will be the Panasonic logo that adornes the GC. This new addition to the Games/DVD's/CD's departement will definetly sell out very quickly. The new GC will not only play Nintendo GAMECUBE discs but also DVD's CD's and Multimedia CD's. It is currently still unreleased anywhere, but will definetly be released in the far east, but with no plans for a US & EU release. The price of this new piece of kit will be the sames as a PS2 or Xbox. Here's hoping to the EU release.

Oh, I'm sooooo sorry (faget) I only registered like, 3 dayz ago.....

wow porkcharsui you are so quick! weve been talking about the Qcube for nearly half a year now and we found out that it wasnt coming anywhere near europe a couple of weeks a go! do some more research before posting posts on topics that have already done! In fact now I come to think of it I did a topic on the panasonic gamecube just last week!
think of something original porkcharsui!

So lets just make absolutely clear:

Qcube, the model available in japan, will play european region 2 dvds and japanese gamecube games, also american games if the switch was fitted, and possibly european ones if a switch/chip later becomes available.
Provided your tv runs an ntsc signal.

Why do i not have one of these?!

It will be able to play region 2 dvds and most morern tvs are able to work with NTSC hardware. there is not difference in the coding of a japanesse region 2 dvd and a europe one, it is just the hardware that is different. my DVD player and most others let you choose between NTSC and PAL and both will work on my tv

erm porkchasui
pratically everyone in these forums know about the q cube and that it is already released in japan
damn i thought your post was gonna be some ground breaking news like:
THE PANASONIC GAMECUBE IS COMING OUT IN ENGLAD
or
WILL BE ABLE TO PLAY PAL REGION 2 DVDS

Hang on, doesn't the 60hz mode on the gamecube use n*cough*cough*c signal, which some newer tvs do have?
Not sure if the standard jap to us switch could be fitted well to the qcube, but i expect it'd be possible, then if you didn't mind the delivery time, you could import us games from dvdboxoffice, at good prices.

Damn, i wish i'd thought of this sooner.

Unless it wouldn't work. In which case i'm glad i didn't.

Hang on, the pal dvds, would they work with a ntsc dvd player? Looking over your post again, i think that might have been your point...

: )

damn....would have been cool though....

you could mod the gamecube to make it play usa games , then eventually they might bring out a mod to play uk games , and the dvds are region 2 , like us , but they are ntsc region2 , we are pal region2 so it wouldn't /shouldn't work.

Hang on, aren't japan in region 2?
Wouldn't be any good for the games though.

£300+ sound alright to you ???? (only play ntsc dvds aswell)
