"Throw whatever you have been told about this console out the window. This console is truly a masterpiece that I to this day have not experienced anywhere else."
Philips has announced a partnership with Dirac to create their first-ever gaming headset, which promises fantastic sound with two different sound modes.
Gaming headsets are often overpriced and include a bevy of unneccessary features. This headphone guide will help you choose the best fit for you.
Philips, the electronics company behind the ill-fated Philips CD-i, has responded to fan requests for a classic, miniature version of the console. Amazingly, it looks like it could actually happen.
The internet is so mean, this has to be a troll of high magnitude.
I just hope some poor out of touch soul at Philips doesn't takes this seriously and gets all excited.
For the love of God, let this console stay dead. I don't want to witness the horrible "The Legend Of Zelda" again.
Lmao! Well hell, since we're asking for useless things how about an Atari Jaguar classic?
I actually refeared that one, since getting games for it is really hard and emulation sucks, so one Atari Jaguar Mini with the possibility to change games like the Nes mini, would be great.
Jaguar CD games might be playable as the system would actually work then. I wouldn't buy it, but that would make more sense than a CDi plug-and-play.
WTF that would be terrible, better buy the original console since it reads originals and backups with no mod, just burn and play.
Lol, I'd rather have a 3DO mini. I feel like I was the only person that had that console. Road Rash (the best version) and Mad Dog were very fond memories from my childhood.
I had one, I was told by a store employee it was a popular console but then I wasted all my hard earned money. It did have a few good games, though.
from article - "Although not developed by Nintendo itself, a Super Mario game called Hotel Mario was released, as were three Legend of Zelda titles - Zelda: The Wand of Gamelon, Link: The Faces of Evil and Zelda's Adventure. These were all met with mixed reviews, with many still believing the games to be inferior to Nintendo's own to this day."
Here's a better question, who wouldn't fall into the "many" category?
Some believe that you can make any statement you want as long as you attribute it to "some", "many", or "others".
Many believe this is not true, but there are others, like some, who believe it to be so.
I guess that statement covers their butts in case there is that one person out there who honestly believes that Wand of Gamelon is the best Zelda game out there :P
I'm more curious with the Mixed Reviews remark. What was mixed about them, horrible, terrible, a gawd damn travesty?
Funny, but just so folks know, this is an IGN user blog.
It's overrated if anything. No system is 100% crap. 99% perhaps but there's always some redeeming value, IMO.
I'll go grab my stuff.

The system was never meant to compete in the gaming market but was one of the first major forays into CD Media Centers available with numerous configurations, both entry and professional tier models. It was one of the first Media Centers open to consumers.
The only reason it was even marketed as a games console was to showcase the advantages of Compact Disc media (hence its name) as an educational platform. Sadly a lot of consumer models were more expensive than the crappiest Gateway available at the time, and what do you know, built far worse than the first generation Sega CD.
The problem is: it wasn't supposed to be only a console, it was trying to be something like Xbox One, by playing CDs and stuff, being a multimedia center. As it's written on wikipedia, it is an "interactive multimedia CD player". Games are only part of it, and the games were more of the interactive part than the hardcore gaming itself. It remembers me of those blu-ray with interactive media, although nowadays these things are much more affordable. IMO it isn't specifically a console, but one of the things it can do is play games.
