"Gamecube DVD?"

I was browsing around on EBAY when i saw this person selling a silver Gamecube with a Dvd built in,WOW you must be thinking but at that time i wasn't suprized cos Nintendo has alot of clever ideas in there head for example:they have just released the gameboy player and who knows what they've got next!
But this man obviously didn't buy this Gamecube so he must of made it hiself but if a a man (who probably dosn't even work for nintendo) build a Gamecube with a Dvd, im sure a Nintendo can do the same and probably double there're sale prices.Huh?
If anyone knows anything about this please reply.

If gamecubes actually were sold with such an accessory I would buy one.

Its a gamecube made by panansonic, its called the panasonic Q and is only available in japan (officially). Oh, and its been out for yonks.

You are talking about the Panasonic Gamecube.
I saw that on Ebay too.

Nintendo were meant to be licensisng Gamecube technology so lots of manufacturers could make DVD, CD, Gamecube devices. Similar in a way I suppose to the 3DO.

But yet it appears no one else has taken them up on it. Shame that.

Hardly surprising considering they have recently announced huge losses on the Cube once again. Its the GBA which keeps sales for Nintendo respectable.

Yes, but part of the reason the Cube lacks appeal is because it doesn't play DVDs. If it did, then it would be more attractive to buyers and more units shifted would improve the financial performance.

A DVD Playr wouldn't change anything. If people don't like the GameCube, let them.

As I just said, part of the dislike of the GC is through not playing DVDs. I bought an Xbox before a GC because it the Xbox played DVDs. Now most people only buy one console, and if they buy a PS2 or Xbox because it plays DVDs then they are not going to buy a GC. But if it did play DVDs then it would pick up more casual gamers.
