Anyone?  That console cost more than a PS3 and is worth $1000 at launch price due to inflation.

jaysus chrust thats expensive.

no I dont have one...

I have 2 the fz1 and fz 10

A friend of mine had one, back in 1997 or 98. It was kinda cool at the time, I almost bought one myself. But it wasnt catching on and I didnt think it would last. I was right.
I played my first Need for Speed on my friends system, and Road Rash was a blast.
The best game on that system was Wing Commander 3, he bought a flight stick just for that game. Ahh memories...........

Did anyone have second thoughts about buying it? I mean $700 is a lot of money for 94.

I think I paid $400 for my original one back in like 95.... and recently bought 2 different ones for like $40.

I bought one a few months prior to it's launch and still own it to date(with like the 2 games I bought...) I didn't pay that much money though, I got it on heavy sale because they weren't moving so well and even cheaper because I knew somebody.

I bought mine for $55 used ... so I don't regret buying it.

The actual price tag was $700. It wanted to be what the PS3 is trying to be (and has the capability to be) -- a home media center.

This is not a swipe on the PS3's technology but rather a comment on what people expect or don't expect from their gaming consoles. Video games as home media centers have a mixed history. The PS2 was able to do it early on when it was the least expensive DVD player in Japan. But Nuon-enabled DVD players never caught on. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nuon

Still BR-DVD > DVD >>>> VCD, so there is hope.

But back to the topic, I have a 3do and close to 100 games.
