no kidding. but i wish they would've gave the GC a regular disc drive that can play DVDs. with that and the fact that it was cheaper than the PS2, one could only imagine what could have been.


.........it was cheaper speciacally BECAUSE it didn't have a regular DVD player. The DVD part is what made PS2 more expensive, hands down.


Except it was basically a DVD drive, just modified slightly so Nintendo did not have to pay a $10/unit DVD licensing fee (which MS got around on the XBox by selling a remote control accessory).

I remember seeing pirated copies of GameCube games that were burned onto mini-DVD discs (the actual DVD format, just a smaller version of it), so it definitely could read DVDs.
