'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."

    Why do companies play these games? You can look at the cool products that they sell in Japan or Europe but they won't import them. Do they sell them for more with the exclusivity factored in? Bah... I didn't want anyway, nope wouldn't take one if they gave it to me now. Yeah, maybe if we don't want them, imports will start right away.
