Better get a loose CDX if you are planning to get a Genesis, it is so much smaller and lighter + built in CD add on. Initial cost may be higher though.

Ya, bought it at the shop. That time CDX was the cheapest compare to NGCD, PS1, 3DO and Sega Saturn, but now it has the best market value laugh.gif

I have the SEGA CD 1 with Genesis 1 console, bought quite cheap from my friend. It's quite bulky, but still nice to see and collect hehe

Another alternative to this is SEGA CD2 or JVC X'Eye.

If u want to play cross-region, still have to use a special cart like datel cd-x or get your bios modded.

Yea, actually for a game to be 'ULTRA RARE' it has to be released in very, very, very limited quantities : eg. AES Kizuna Encounter PAL or MD Tetris (Not affordable for most people) sweat.gif

For games that are 'RARE', but you can still see people selling it once awhile (at > $300) of course : eg. SAT Taromaru or MD Eliminate down.

Now if we've gone through that, let see how about games that are originally common but now fetching high prices ($100-$200) in the market due to popular demand : eg. SAT Radiant Silvergun, PS1 Suikoden 2

If I would categorize Aerobiz Supersonic, it will not fall in any of above-so-called 'RARE' categories laugh.gif

Yea I got mine all loose (and from a friend) so it's cheap alright. But as any frontloader model, it will be more prone to jamming when opening the cd tray. In fact this is a problem for all kind frontloading consoles, due to its motorized part : Mega/ Sega CD1, NEO GEO CD 1st, 3DO FZ1, Panasonic Gamecube and even FAT PS2. But luckily mine is still alright and read cd also still ok thumbup.gif

Research in ebay yesterday. Found an old and fully refurbished NES seller that sell 1 console, 2 controllers, a gun and one game + 1 yr warranty for 99.99USD.

Was very interested for it until I got the delivery cost - 42.99USD sad.gif

There is this shop in Tesco Kampar that is selling refurbished set PSOne - Slim. Last time I asked them, it cost about RM350 for everything. It could be cheaper if you just want the console.

There are also quite a few selling around in lowyat.net, but most of it is PSOne Slim too.

For the fat one, you might need to dig deeper. In my place, Penang, I found a shop near USM selling it, though it is also a refurbished / used set.

Actually if you're thinking buying a lot of consoles in one shot to safe delivery cost is not good idea, the reasons are :
1. More Risk of Loss, damaged, etc., just like investment don't put all your eggs into one basket.
2. The custom will be more than glad to find an excuse to tax your items.
3. Seldom people sells a lot of items in one shot, so limits your choice of buying.
