Haha no wonder why the 3DO never caught on, no normal person would buy it at $700, sort of hard to believe that came out in 1993.

Gamecube was more than $200. I'm pretty sure... I thought it started at $300 CAD.

I had no idea that the Atari 2600 was such a wage killer for the time

The Neo Geo was the shit. Too bad no one could afford one.
