Does it really need DVD playback though?  Nintendo's comment about the 
Game Cube being for games only did make a certain amount of sense.

Heck, Nintendo could be silly and use mini-HD-DVDs, which would give them 
added space, while being more difficult to pirate.

I guess there's no way the Revolution will be backwards compatible with 
Game Cube though, if they go with a standard DVD format...
