o man. panasonic's suggested retail price for that thing was $700, at launch time. sounds like you got a bargain.
not that 3DO was bad hardware... it was just overpriced and never managed to carve out its niche (as far as hot, exclusive games go).
in comparison it's almost unbelievable that the dreamcast failed. it had a reasonable price, awesome technology under the lid, very respectable sales numbers, and lots of great exclusive games that you couldn't play on any other system. even its non-exclusive games were miles ahead of the psx and n64 versions. by all rights it
should've been the #1 console for its time, but circumstances proved that selling a high-quality product isn't always enough.
