Watch DVDs on Game Cube!
« on: April 23, 2003, 08:58:50 AM »
I was thinking...
If you had a gameboy player and bought the pocket pix cartridge, then essentially you can watch DVDs on your TV through your gamecube, which ultiamtely makes it way better than PS2 and XBOX, as if it wasn't already!!!

Only that watching movies that way would make your eyes fall out and flee into your ass.

1) The Pocket Pix doesn't play DVDs. It plays movies stored on memory cards.

2) It runs at 10 frames per second.

Basically, it's not a very promising product.

But we're in luck! With Nintendo's push for linkable games, you can now daisy-chain three Pocket Pix together to get it up to 30 FPS! So all we'll need is 3 Gamecubes, GBA Players, Pocket Pix, and SD Cards, and we'll sort of almost have clear, 30 FPS, GBA-sized movies! Huzzah! ;D

(This is all sarcasm, I'm sure they can't Daisy-Chain.)

Yeah, let's all go out and get a Game Boy Player, Pix thing for the GBA Player, and some of that quality stuff they have on offer. Mmmm, old crappy 1970 comedys running with as much animation as a dead cat!

TAKE THAT PS2, XBOX AND DVD PLAYERS IN GENERAL!

PS2 and X-Box's price was $100 higher because of their DVD feature. (X-Box was actually $35 because you needed the remote)

I could buy a Gamecube, and an actual DVD PLAYER for the same cost. (Or you could go with a $50 player on your computer).

Thus, making a DVD player feature useless for consoles.
