Pioneer Laseractive w/ built-in Genesis

[Chuck D. Head]

Someone was looking for one of these a while back:

It's up to over a benjamin now, and lots of shipping as it is heavy, but the item is in Vegas, so a local could save on shipping. Morgan

There needs to be a dropjaw emoticon. I can't believe that final price.

I paid $40 for mine and didn't have to have it shipped anywhere.

early in my collecting career a yardsale guy tried to sell me on of these for $50 bucks and I thought I was clever for getting Lethal Enforcers off him for $10. I still kick myself, even though it was a big ugly piece of hardware that replicated a feature I already had.

Having a Laseractive shipped pretty much guarantees that you're going to get a broken Laseractive. It happens all the time.

The worst thing about the laseractive is that it does NOT park the pickup head properly with a module installed or by using the front panel power switch.

 

Before it is shipped, someone MUST:

 

* turn it off with the power switch (which actually cuts power)

* remove the module

* turn it on with the power switch

* turn it off with the remote control

* wait until it has stopped making noise

* turn it off with the power switch

 

And it would probably be a good idea to ship it with the module NOT installed, in separate padding.

 

The problem is that with a module installed, the proper laserdisc power off process is disabled, and you can't turn it off with the remote control.

 

 

...and if someone in the Austin / San Antonio area is interested in one, I could be convinced to let go of one of my extras. But I'm not shipping one of those bad boys.

This one sold for only $186. I've seen the Sega module go for $200 alone, and the whole unit for $1000 or more. At that price, who cares about shipping costs?

[Jimmy Yakapucci]

I got mine a few years ago and had it shipped to me. It appeared to work fine, but I have used it for about 5 minutes in the past 3 years. Typical purchase for me, unfortunately. Thankfully, all it cost me was about $30 for the Genesis games that I traded to get it.

If you're responding to my comment, nowhere did I say thing about shipping costs. I'm not shipping one because they're big and fragile. And I really don't like the work involved in packing things up and finding a place to ship them.

Prices have gone way down the last year or so. I have seen several go for under $150.

I'm thinking he was refering to the OP's comments about "lots of shipping" added to the overall price.

 

Except for the collector aspect, I don't personally see the appeal of these unless you actually had lasers discs (which I don't.) Otherwise, wouldn't a CDX be a better way to go? Plus, I'm assuming that you can't use any of the accessories like the 32x or the SMS converter?

 

Don't get me wrong, if I found one at a yard sale or thrift store, I'd grab it if it were under $50!
