mtshark7 Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 My game store I go to has this Sega CDX bundle (see pic) and they are selling it with an additional two extra games for $150. It also has the original Sega CDX power supply, and the controller I never seen before that is a registered Sega controller. I'm thinking about picking this up before it's too late...Is this a good deal for that price? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shephda Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 IMHO, that is the top end of what I'd pay if I wanted one. On the plus side you get a nice six button controller and the case is a bit rare. If you really want one for the collection then I'd pull the trigger.

+wood_jl Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I thought the Sega CDX was a really neat unit, back in the 1990s, and I used to have one. Sold it since I only played carts anyway. Sorta missed it in later years, but MANY of the ones I"ve seen don't work anymore - and I'm talking about he CD part. I don't know if they were dropped, worn out, defective, or if ol' Father Time simply went to work on them. MAKE SURE THE CD PART WORKS before you buy one. That probably means buying (or burning) a Sega CD title to test it with - thoroughly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted September 26, 2012 Author Share Posted September 26, 2012 The console works 100% perfectly, cd and cart slot. I was there yesterday testing it out. Even the picture and sound look amazing on it. Also there aren't any scratches or dings on it either. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

busterm Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 Its a bit over priced. CDX units typically go around 80-100 with out any games, the controller is a common Sega 6 button and the carry case you can buy one brand new for $17 from gameexpress.com Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cOLeCoHiTMan Posted September 26, 2012 Share Posted September 26, 2012 I ran into mine for $30 minus 20% at a thriftshop... then came home to find out its worth a few bucks! I don't think that thats a bad price.. do you have any trade bait or will they negotiate? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 Busterm: I dunno…I think I agree with ppl above who said it was a good deal. The 6 button controller is unique cos it includes a turbo and slow button; it’s not the traditional 6-button controller we all know and love. I also got 4 games with it. My friend who sold it to me also said that the official CDX power supply is hard to come by as well. Colecohitman: Sorry I ended up buying it. Thanks for the offer tho. Wow I wish I had thrift stores around my way that had stuff like that for cheap! Now I have a total of 3 sega CD’s: Model 1, Model 2, and CDX. Hopefully that's it! lol Also another reason I ended up buying it is cos of how small it is and simple to hook up. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
busterm Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Honestly who is to say what something is worth. It really comes down to did you get it for what you are willing to invest in it. We have all over paid and underpaid on items to collect but if we are happy with out purchase that's all that matters. Going off the pic the controller looks like a MK-1470 these are fairly common. I agree the official CDX power supply is hard to come by but these are not commonly sold with out psu on ebay. But any Input: 100-240V AC Output: 9.5V 1.6A will work. Congrats on your new purchase. Now just get your self one of those X'eye's and you will be set =P 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mtshark7 Posted September 27, 2012 Author Share Posted September 27, 2012 busterm: That's true. Dohh! I totally forgot about the X'eye! Aww man! Meh I don't need that...I think 3 Sega CD's is more than enough, haha I would pick it up if either I got one for free somehow, or got it for dirt cheap....like $10 lol thegamezmaster: Thanks!

Austin Posted September 27, 2012 Share Posted September 27, 2012 Yeah, the controller isn't worth much at all, but I think the package is reasonable considering the carrying case. That's an official CDX-embroidered case. Can you get the exact same one at GameExpress, or is it just a generic one there? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Though it was cheaper last year $9.99. They raised all their prices over the past year, but im pretty sure its still the same listing.

Yea the X'eye is a neat kit, awesome sound, though to really make your collecion POP you gonna need that awesome Pioneer Laserdisk modual haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mtshark7 Posted September 28, 2012 Author Share Posted September 28, 2012 busterm: Hmm that's pretty neat about the sound. I would hope the sound is great considering it's a JVC product, lol. Also I noticed with my CDX that the sound is waaayy better than both model 1 and 2 sega CD. I'll admit the x'eye does look neat, but what would I do with 4 sega CD's? I think it's bad enough I already own 4 atari 2600's. I may think of selling one of my atari 2600's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I couldn't find the listing last night on my phone, but it looks like it's under the "accessories" section on the Genesis tab. It's $16.99 now which seems more than reasonable. I'm going to snag one for myself (bought a CDX from a member here a ways back but it didn't have the box). Are these brand-new with the outer boxes?

Mark Wolfe Posted September 28, 2012 Share Posted September 28, 2012 you can get them for less on ebay. try haggling with them. bet they have a large margin of profit on that, if not go to ebay and keep your eyes open. they come up monthly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Austin Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Just wanted to say that I got my carrying case from GameExpress. It is definitely NIB! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
