Nintendo Bundles GBA Adaptor With Gamecube

Thanks to a multitude of sites for pointing to a new Nintendo press release announcing they're bundling the Gameboy Player with the Nintendo Gamecube system, starting June 23rd. The Gamecube will keep its US price of $149 for this added-value deal. For those unsure about what the Gameboy Player is, the press release explains it's "..a platform less than an inch thick, which acts as a base for the Nintendo GameCube. By simply inserting Game Boy cartridges [GB/GBC/GBA] into a slot in the Game Boy Player, consumers can use their Nintendo GameCube controller to direct action on the TV screen."

Neither.

It's the GB Player. It's a little device that plugs into the bottom of the gamecube.

There's picture and an article here:

It lets you play gameboy games on the gamecube, with a gamecube controller.
