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)

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

And now it's worth about 6x whatever it cost back then.
