lol.

It's an OLD console system.
I remember back in the days heh. You can probably get about 20 bucks for it.

It was ahead of its time though just like the Dreamcast. You think the PS3 is expensive check the launch price of a 3do.

my friend has a mint one never played it in te box, look on ebay mate to get a ruff price, think there were two models, the early ones black and grey and like a gen2 which was just black

low tech- now anyway

How bout you ship it to me and I pay the shipping I want to play Road Rash real bad.

Actually from what I read it has no copyright protection. If you can find some iso's out there you can just burn and play. It uses CDs also so media is super cheap.

paul26982 · 2009-01-02 20:36:21

Powerslave · 2009-01-02 21:40:19

They are going anywhere from 40.00 to over 200.00 with many games... You should always check Ebay and see what they are going for, and find one that is about to end; keep the link. When it sells, check back to see what the final price was.
