why doesnt the ps2, gamecube and xbox have mp3 cd playback

the gamecube doesnt play mini dvds or mini cds which sucks

the ps2 and xbox cant play mp3 cds (music data that actually uses the mb on the cd 50+ songs on 1 cd) but they should

same goes for current gen its BS

the technology is there but they are just too lazy to make the consoles have it

stereos have it cd players have it car radios have it

To answer your topic question, because all of those consoles are outdated hardware, so why would the companies add more features to them?

To solve your problem, its called a CD Player. Look into one.

My VCR won't play DVDs

OMG why did you bump this topic:x

Becuase stereos, cd players and car radios have it.

Also a lot of people have PCs or MP3 players, if they add MP3 playback it'll just cost more.
