intvgene Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 One of the best things about the 3DO is that it can play CDRs, and I am not just talking about music either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vintagegamer89 Posted February 23, 2004 Author Share Posted February 23, 2004 Yeah this is true....I got my 3DO + 2 controllers, Need for Speed, Street Fighter Turbo, and Fifa Soccer 94' for $9. Thats one of the best deal I've ever gotten on anything in my life! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bergbros2 Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 They make great door stops. You can also rest a drink on them and Trip Hawkins will be more than happy to sign one for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveW Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 I remember reading about a company developing a GPS traffic navigation system with 3DO systems for some Japanese cars, but I don't know if they ever came out. Now if you could find that giant virtual reality gyroscope add-on for the 3DO for $9, then you would officially be the God of Good Deals.

Gunstar Posted February 23, 2004 Share Posted February 23, 2004 There is a Video CD expansion that is rare and I think only released in places outside of the U.S., Video CD uses the MPEG1 technology, DVD is Mpeg2. The picture quality is about the same as video recording in extended play mode due to artifacting, but sound quality is better then video. Basically, most FMV on systems that are 32-bit or better are done in MPEG1 still. Other than that, games, music cd's, Kodak PhotoCD (which is different than today's Kodak Picture CD), cdr's and cdrw's out of the box.

Lemmi Posted February 24, 2004 Share Posted February 24, 2004 There is a Video CD expansion that is rare and I think only released in places outside of the U.S., . that depends on what model 3DO you have the Goldstar sold their VCD adaptor here in the US also, and is the most common one (i could've had about 4 or 5 of them, but who wants that many for one console) i think the average price is between $25 to $50 its been awhile since i looked up anything 3DO on ebay the FZ-1 and FZ-10 VCD adaptors are the hardest to get, i own the Goldstar (paid $40 for mine) and the FZ-1 (paid $100 for mine loose) vcd adaptors, and i think the FZ-10 adaptor is the hardest to find Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
