Can I Play Music CDs on the Game Cube?

The ps1 and ps2, and the x-box, and a PC can all play Music, but can a game cube?

This is a real question, i now know for sure it CANT play DVD\'s, but how about music CDs....  surely it can play music CDs!!!!

Seriously... i like some of the games on the cube, but why is it missing thses features? (eg DVD player..etc..)

Some people have stated in the other debate we had, that it wouldnt be a good idea for nintendo to go the same way as Playstation and x-box...but why??

If the system is better and its got more..or atleast some cool features.. well i think they\'d sell more nintendos!!!

No it cant.

Why do you want it to?

well coke, like bob said~no the GC cant play music cds, unless u can find me an "mini cd" but even if u could i hardly doubt that nintendo have made their console to play anything other than GC games.
coz as mentioned in yer previous thread "the GC is a pure gaming machine"

It\'s cheap, I don\'t care. Besides, I already have a DVD player.

It doesn\'t play CDs because the tray isn\'t big enough for them.  Panasonic made one you can import if you want, but chances are you already have a CD player, so it\'s not an issue, anyway.

It does play games, though, and that\'s why I bought mine.

-Eik

This is just a stupid question to stir up the people who actually enjoy their gaming machines.  Oh yes, it doesn\'t play CD\'s, but I\'m sure, probably in every entertainment hub of your household, you have CD players regardless.  Off hand, I have roughly 7 CD players in my household comprised of Discmen, alarm clock radios, and CD changer stereos.  For some funny reason, I like the fact that I can watch TV and listen to music at the same time.  Sometimes during sports, the announcers are just awful and a little music drowns them out nicely.  

Coke,  look at it from Nintendo\'s point of view.  If your targeted audience was 9 year olds,  why put all that extra DVD cd stuff in your console when you know they dont care about it?

Somewhat of a good point clowd...

Do take a look from Nintendo\'s point of view.  What is Nintendo\'s goal?  To deliver games to the masses...giving you another way to play a CD doesn\'t factor in here.

Also, I\'m just curious.  How many of you actually use your videogame console as a means to play CDs?  not me

The only CD-based console I\'ve owned is the DC. I hate to break it to ya, but in the year I had it.. I only used it to play a music CD once. That one time coming when I was as bored as heck; I just wanted to see the quality.

So Clowd + Coke = GTFO.

The only console i ever use to listen to cd\'s is my ps1 because it has cool "lightning" and sound options. But still, that\'s very rare, usually I just use my stereo.

The same goes for me.  I have a psx, and I never use it to listen to CDs.  Why would you?  The sound quality would be so much lower than a normal CD player.  No one uses the option, so it\'s pretty much just an extra feature that perhaps costs more money to put in and to purchase, but is never used.

Damn you Sony, Nintendo and all the others!!!!!!!!!!!!

WHY DOESN\'T MY PS2 PLAY VHS TAPES???
they.. they just won\'t fit properly into that lame CD-tray!!

*takes out Uzis and points it at PS2, threatning it to swallow the damn tape and play it...

*PS2 does nothing...

*BANG!!!

*seven just murdered his PS2 and realises what he has just done

muahahahahahahhahahahahahahahhahah!!!!!

lol seven, you have lightened up.

So wait the panasonic version of the GC can play dvd\'s and CD\'s? How much does it cost Im not going to buy it because I have a PS2 but im just curious.
