Nope. Just an all in one system that sold poorly. You could buy a genesis and sega cd separately for less than this thing retailed for. lol

Ah, the economics of technology. Will the people pay more for convenience? Not if they don't want the product in the first place. 🤣😂

I can picture the meeting where they came up with this:

Underling: "Sir, people aren't buying the Sega CD! They say the games are terrible."

Smart Boss Guy: "Let's make a more expensive version."

Underling: "And as for the games?"

Smart Boss Guy: "You're fired."

yeah same here 😛  the only games i remember getting from toys r us was clearance sega titles.  i rarly got to go to toys r us as a kid.  it was still a big memory of mine though.  i used to rent video games all the time from blockbuster and hollywood video.  rented some of them so much i ended up buying some of them when they discontinued them.

My collection in May of 2015. I have not been doing this as long as many but I certainly got hooked and made up for lost time in a hurry. The sign bug bit me in 2016 and glad I was able to get what I have in a short time. Aquiring stuff even a few short years later has really changed.

New sign for the collection. Been wanting something Original Xbox. Having its original packaging is a bonus and the history is great. 

Pre launch sign Part  #XM000049
Originally shipped to KB Toys store #1761 at First Colony Mall in Sugar Land Texas. 

Sign is date stamped October 2001. Xbox launched in November of that year. 

What is probably the best thing I like is the note on the back of the sign asking to save this sign for a person named Elmer. For sure leaving it on.  Added various pics as well. 

Ebay seller was awesome and let me negotiate the price down. Always a haggler. 😀
