The best DVD player of all time came out in 2001

For the most part, DVD players all meld together from a physical standpoint. They all look and feel roughly the same, with their nondescript black rectangular casings, and they all function similarly on the whole. Then there's the Panasonic SL-GC10-S, better known as the Panasonic Q. This 2001-era DVD player is built different. It's shaped like a cube, it's covered in a metallic coating, and, most notably of all, it plays Nintendo GameCube games.
