Matsushita has announced the release date for its DVD player that will include the GameCube hardware.

Matsushita, which owns the Panasonic brand, has announced that it will release Q, its DVD player that includes GameCube hardware, on 14 December in Japan. The unit will retail for around £240 and will be available in both retail stores and from Matsushita's official Web site. Matsushita hopes to produce 15,000 units of Q each month for a grand total of at least 100,000 by the conclusion of its first year of availability. Matsushita has yet to announce if Q will be released in Europe or North America.
