A short and concise news article revealed that Matsus_hita\'s GameCube enabled DVD/CD player will ship in Japan shortly after the September 14th launch date. More noteworthy is the fact that the unit will indeed be coming to the U.S., though not until their 2002/2003 business year (which probably means March 2002 at the earliest). No price has been announced at this time in the U.S. but is rumored to launch around 39,000 Yen (about $315 U.S.) in Japan.
WOW!! :D

Looks kinda funky:):)

LOL, i\'m pissing my pants, whta the hell is the point of that. What a waste of moeny, how many DVD players do we need.
-
... What\'s the point of putting a DVD player in a game machine? ... Got me... Ask Sony.
This device seems great, although without being available on launch... I don\'t know. I might trade in for one, but I already have a DVD player so I doubt it.

A bad move. This will enable pirates much better to use \'larger\' media that they couldn\'t in a regular GC. Oh well....

it looks corny. why do that .?
idiots

Duhh !!
This actually looks ten times more stylish
than NGC itself !

Matsus hita stands to make some money off of Nintendo\'s coattails. How is that idiotic? If it\'s true that movies helped sell PS2s, then why not GCNs as well?

:laughing:
We were talking about this on IGN\'s boards. It looks like a WW2-era radio.

That is pretty damn funny looking.

I dunno, but I\'m sorry to hear about your bladder problem. Perhaps you should go see a doctor to get that cleared up.

I don\'t think so since from what I hear it\'s be programmed to run games only from the smaller DVD\'s. If you put a larger DVD in, the GC recognises the size difference and automatically starts it up as a movie. It probably won\'t be too long before hackers find a way around this though. Hell, it\'s not like the mini-dvd\'s would have stopped them either. After all, they did find a way to crack the DC\'s copyprotection even though the GDRoms could hold about 600mb more data than a normal CD.

WOW look everyone, SONY_FANBOY here is concerned for me, how kind. Just when you think this world has come to an end, someone comes and gives you there hand to help you back up.
And my GOD be with you SONYBOY

Looks like my rice cooker... what is up with Nintendo and these funky designs??

Hey, well fu*k you if you can\'t take a joke. Besides, where do YOU get off calling ME a fanboy? It\'s not like I really care or anything, but if there was ever a textbook example of "The pot calling the kettle black" that would be it. So even if I WERE to consider that an insult, it would have absolutely no meaning comming from someone like you. Maybe if it came from someone like Soul Reaver, Akira, hyper, or Living in Clip it might mean something.. but from you it just sounds pathetic.
Thanks for another laugh. :D

Talk about the pot calling the kettle black, your sir are a MORON. Hey, well fu*k you if you can\'t take a joke.
Same goes, you talk about not being able take a joke, but here you are getting all pissy. Jess you need to chill out dude. Go outside, get laid or something.
Thanks for another laugh
Nice try, but that my friend is Pathetic
If this was all a laugh to you, then you wouldn\'t have gotten all pissed, and started shooting your mouth off.
It\'s Ok SONYFANBOY "Godly hands him a tissue"

How come as I read over your post, I keep hearing that old, reahashed, 3rd grade comeback.. "I know you are but what am I?" And really, I can\'t tell where you\'re getting the idea that I\'m all "pissed off". I\'m just speaking the truth here. I mean, to me it seems like you\'re the one getting all bent out of shape by calling me names in capitol letters and excessively using the bold. Really, all I did was call you a fanboy.. which again.. is the truth. I\'ve never seen you compliment another console or it\'s games, and rarely have I ever seen you join a thread where you don\'t draw direct compairisons to the Xbox.
Now lets flip things around.. where exactly do you find reason to call me a fanboy? What have I ever said or done in here, SegaWeb, or Nintnedose that would lead you to believe that I am? Yeah, It\'s no secret that I prefer Sony and Sega.. but you can hardly blame someone for picking favorites, hell everyone does it. So tell me, I\'m curious as to what kinda answer you can fabricate, what exactly makes me a fanboy?

Hey SONYBOY have you still not got it, your taken this all to serious.
Really, all I did was call you a fanboy.. which again.. is the truth
Same goes, I mean that is what is missing in your name the BOY.
Now lets flip things around.. where exactly do you find reason to call me a fanboy
Same reason why you call me it
Yeah, It\'s no secret that I prefer Sony
your telling me
but you can hardly blame someone for picking favorites, hell everyone does it
Agreed!!!!
So tell me, I\'m curious as to what kind of answer you can fabricate, what exactly makes me a fanboy?
what kind of answer can i fabricate (funny you mention that, ) again the same in the manner you have.
Think about it, both you and I can sit here all day and make excuses of why one another is a fanboy.
You see I too, have a DC(hardcore sega gamer since the beginning), and PS2 so I’m not a SONY hater, I will pick up a few games for the PS2. Fanboys do not own there so called rival console. But Like you said SONYFAN ,""but you can hardly blame someone for picking favorites, hell everyone does it"" and my fav is the XBOX and for very good and obvious reasons.

DId anyone notice how the dumbass only quoted "Its not secret I prefer Sony" in stead of the full quote "Its not secret I prefer Sony and Sega."
Seems like someones argument was over before it started.

It was only a matter of time before i knew you would step in JACOB.
DId anyone notice how the dumbass only quoted "Its not secret I prefer Sony
Did anyone noticed how this piece of **** didn\'t even bother to try and understand what was being said, but instead only responded cause he wanted to take a jab at me.
See if you actually read what was going on then you would of seen that I quoted only what I needed. You Sir are the real McCoy when it comes to dumbass, but hey nice try Jacob, now go back to your husband i\'m sure he still loves you.
