Another half-assed videogame article from no-nothing wannabe reporters.

For giggles, here's some ignored launch prices with adjusted values:

TG-CD  -   $400 / $690 adj.  (plus cost of console)
TurboDuo  -  $300 / $580 adj.
Sega CD  -  $300 / $580 adj.  (plus cost of console)
Sega CDX  -  $400 / $624 adj.
Laseractive w/ either pac  -  $1570 ($970 + $600) / $2450 adj.

I bought a ps3 near launch for the princely sum of £425 in 2007 which adjusted for inflation is about £500 in today's money. (About $800)
And it broke just out of warranty

BT: Look at how the fake SFII' carts instantly sold out and were immediately listed on eBay before the flippers even took possession. Look at Nintendo's overpriced bricks. Look at the typical forum discussions elsewhere.

You can't tell most retro gamers anything!

Canadian prices were inflated worse than they should have been during the <32-bit generations. Now that our dollar hovers around par with the U.S. dollar, it really puts things in perspective. The Turbo-CD was $900 around my hometown early on, which is $1400 in today's dollars.

Quite sure the Car Marty wins the award for most expensive console ever.   It was over $4,000 when it was new, and you still needed to buy the Home Kit or Car Kit to hook it up.
