Title: Gamecube as a DVD Player
Post by: y2kerr on July 01, 2003, 01:36:47 PM
I'm thinking of buying a Gamecube. I think I remember hearing once that the Gamecube can act as a DVD player, but you have to buy some extra accessory. Is this true? Can I watch DVDs on the Gamecube?
Thanks, Mike

You can watch DVDs on a Panasonic Q. Which is a DVD player/GCN hybrid that's only sold in asian markets.
But really, what's the point? A DVD player will put you out $50, and will likely do the job much better than a PS2 or Xbox, which are known to have extremely horrible DVD playback. (PS2 in particular).

Do NOT buy a $50 DVD player. You'd just be asking for trouble. I'd be suspicious of anything under $90, and you should buy something better if you plan to buy a new digital TV anytime remotely soon.
