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.

LOL! £400!
You quite clearly don't have a clue about prices!
The Q is the equivilant of £220 in Japan, and if it ever did come out here, at it's launch it would be £250 at the most.

You can get a Q for around £299 at lik-sang.com, and I also saw it for £250, but I forgot the website (I'm not lying though)
Really, £400 my ...

£250, because that's what the Q, with all those features is.
Cheaper than the PS2 at launch, isn't it?

Panasonic make the Q, not Nintendo.
Panasonic have just taken the GameCube, opened it up, upgraded it with a DVD system and sell it as their own.
Sure, Nintendo gave them permission to do so, but I doubt Nintendo make much, if anything on Panasonics Q sales.

Nintendo made a big point about not going along with the dvd standard. I remember one Ninty mag with the cover headline saying "You dont need DVD - Thats what VHS is for". Now with the Panasonic Q, there does seem to be a pace for DVD at Nintendo (well for movies anyway - games will still not use dvd).

You must live in Japan then because that is the only place you can get a Q machine anyway and at £400 or more you can keep it, if they were not concerned that the GC was not a dvd capable machine what was the need for a Q machine then.
