'Q' Plays US GameCube Games

Posted by michael on from the things-to-do-with-a-soldering-iron dept.

This does not, however, allow it to play region one DVDs as of yet, but keep your eyes out. It's a shame Panasonic chose not to release it to North American store shelves, but the import will soon work just as well."

    I could ask why so much stuff is released in the US only... How do YOU like it now?

    Oh wait, I thought you meant this guy.

    You'd think he'd have better things to do, like bug Jean-Luc.

    Nah. The fact that "nova" is not the same as "No va!" doesn't really matter. Let's say your surname is Hunt - are you really going to call your son Mike?
