OutlawTorn71 Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 Hey guys, I am in the market for a Sega CD and have been reading up as much as I can but I cannot decide which one to buy, and I am looking for some input Quick history - I had a CDX "back in the day" and loved it, I actually traded it for a Pontiac Fiero !! (that's another story ) Loved the games and I am tired of the emulators and want to get another console. The CD1 seems to have some tray issues, but I like the look with my 16bit Genesis, but the CD2 may be more reliable with only minor eye issues ??? I cant justify the expense of CDX for my casual gaming so that's out, and I think the 32X just looks dumb on it ! Looking forward to some discussion OT71 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 In your situation, the Model 2 looks like your best bet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the.golden.ax Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 Yeah, the model 2 would be the best value, and the tray is a big downer on the model 1. I've got both on hand and for sale if you are interested. I also love trades. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CGQuarterly Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 I have a model 1, and would never trade it for a model 2, but I have had to adjust the tray along the way. Still, it's so much more awesome looking than the model 2. No question that the 2 is more reliable, though. Chris Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 5, 2012 Share Posted October 5, 2012 To the OP, something else to keep in mind, I wouldn't buy a Model 1 unless you have a Model 1 Genesis. Having a Model 2 Genesis on top of a Model 1 Sega CD looks goofy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
OutlawTorn71 Posted October 5, 2012 Author Share Posted October 5, 2012 Thanks for the info, I have a Model 1 Genesis and I am leaning towards getting a Model 1 CD unit, mainly because of looks and the slightly smaller footprint It seems the tray issues aren't to hard to fix .... And Ax... you have a PM Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
