'Q' Plays US GameCube Games

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."

    That doesn't even begin to consider research into cultural differences - know what "nova" in Spanish means?
    Yes, it means you've fallen for a common urban legend.
