I have not seen it mentioned anywhere on the net, so I figured I'd mention it here. Everyone and their cousin know about the Gamecube menu being a slowed down version of the Famicom Disk System Boot Jingle, but I found something interesting while playing around with disc drive lid. The logo is removable by pressing the clips inside the lid (nothing special there), and underneath it I noticed that it was keyed, and so was the Logo... Now where have I seen this before.....
Thats right... the FDS Disks were keyed in the same fashion!
The pattern is a little different, but I believe it pays homage to the FDS Disks.
I thought it was worth mentioning, has anyone noticed it before?

Unfortuatly the last characrer does not quite work out should be
dot dot dot = S

And i can't read the same as you on the picture. i'm OK for the first word (reading right to left)

Re: Gamecube Disc Lid Easteregg
Thx for adding the lid pic, it was late at night and I didn't have my camera on hand. That's pretty awesome, I didn't even think to look for Morse code!
