The weird, rare Panasonic Q GameCube was a hybrid GameCube and CD/DVD player. Very few were sold due to the PS2's similar capabilities, but that makes the Q worth more now (of course)

Couldn't buy one at that time because of price (remember it being significantly more expensive than base) and super limited availability in NA.

I had one of these - with the multi-region hack, the original controller, box, manual. Urgh. My ex made me sell it for reasons. Is it wrong to re-buy stuff like that?

Considering the aftermarket price on them now, and how far technology has advanced, it’s just not practical to go after this particular model anymore unless you’re a collector. A bog-standard Cube is much cheaper and easier to maintain.
