I've heard someone talk about before. It could be real.

For those who don't know what it is, it was gonna be the dreamcast DVD player.

Could someone please tell me where the controller ports and cartridge slot is? I just cannot see that being real.

from what i can see, it doesn't even say SEGA.

If it was real, it would have sega logos on it. It would also have a cart slot somewhere.

An obvious fake.

This is neither a prototype or a mod, it is a real piece of hardware released in japan. I guess yet another thing sega was trying...sort of like the jvc xeye. I yahooed the model number in the ebay auction and I found plenty of pages talking about this machine. This one has some pretty good pictures showing you where the cart slot is and the controller port. I dont think its worth 500 dollars, but it is a cool piece of hardware. http://superfami.com/aiwa.html

Yeah, I don't think it's worth $500 either. It does look nice, and even if it is a knock off, it has all the right brandings (bar Sega).

Now, I'd pay all I had for THAT dreamcast DVD player... oooooh, nice. Maybe I could build one out of parts... lol.

Hey look, I'm made in Japan by Sega too.

I didn't even notice that bottom removing part on eBay. it was on that site posted above. Looks like a peice of crap to me. It just seems like a CD player with what seems like Segas version of the GBA player :p except for AIWA CD players.

It's legit. I remember seeing photos in an early 90's issue of EGM. In those days, EGM was a crap magazine full of hype and pics of "secret" projects and stuff. Now it's just crap.

The price is outrageous. I'm pretty sure you can get one on Japan for a lot less...

It was one of the lame attempts by Sega to breathe life into the Mega CD, which was dead on arrival in Japan, and was doomed to the same fate in America. Still, some of the more interesting CD games were only released in Japan. (Lunar, for example).

Both Lunar games were released in the US on Sega CD by Working Designs.
