"My PS2 plays Nintendo discs."

I bought an Offical Nintendo magazine the other day and on the front it looked like the little Nintendo disc, so I thought I could play the demo disc on my GC. So imagine my surprise when I realised it was dvd disc lucky for me I had PS2 to play it on.

My point being didn't Nintendo say "they don't need fancy capabilities like dvd" funny that isn't it because without my PS2 I would not have been able to play it.

This is the truth
Sony make a console (because they are a hardware company) then start gossip about another one when their second one is only for people who are flashy shallow or play DVDS a lot or like the games.And then don't bother to try to even make games for it.

Nintendo on the other hand, design a games console make parts of it then are helped by other companies ATI to name just one.They don't make it with DVD player because a lot of people wouldn't use it for that and they didn't want to up the price. They then make great games putting a lot of effort in. They then let panasonic make one but all the oarts are made by panasonic but is still designed by nintendo.

See the difference? i rest my case

What part of a Movie could you get on a GC disc?

The intro.

What do you get if you stick 3 GC discs together.

A dvd

I'm seriously considering selling my GC and all my PAL games for a Q and some American games. I'll need more than just the former to have enough to get the latter though.

No. You are talking out of that backside again!

Nintendo got Panasonic to make a DVD player/games console for them because they know Panasonic are top DVD producers that don't let their machine be piratised by pirate copiers everwhere.

Also, Nintendo are already working on GBA games, GC games and new GC peripherals, so they needed a bit of help to make a DVD playing console anyway.

Fan - boyyyyyyy!

The only reason the Q machine exists at all is because Nintendo couldn't be bothered to make a descent machine in the first place and decided to let someone else do it for them.

The forums would be a better place if everyone looked into what they were posting, instead of just sticking up for their favourite console by posting any old coy carp.

There's solid ground dense then there Techno Freak dense...
