Fair price for a 3DO- need advice

[Zerodash]

A friend of a friend has a 3DO that they have barely used. I want to buy it off of him, but i dont want to give him an unfair price for it.

I was thinking about giving him $50

any advice would be helpful.

Best advice? Save your money.

Unless your buying it for the sake of collect-o-mania there's no reason to own that system.

But if Gotta-have-em-all is your aim then 50 bucks is more than fair.

Yeah, I agree with him. Unless you are doing it for collecting reasons don't bother with it. There isn't a game on the system really worth having. And this is coming from someone who actually bought one years back when they were $500.

Damn foolish childhood mistakes...

I couldn't disagree with the gentlemen above me more. I love the 3DO and there are many great games for it. It was a really great piece of hardware as well. $50 is a good price. Get it and then find Bladeforce, Fifa, Battlesport, Lost Eden, the Shockwaves, and there are several others. You won't be dissapointed.

WHAT?!? How dare you contradict me?

But I did call you a gentleman though.

i'm with kbuchanan on this one. $50 for a 3do is a steal, in my opinion. the system has some really good games, such as...

captain quazar
bladeforce
d
super street fighter 2: turbo
lucienne's quest
guardian war
out of this world
flashback
road rash
star control 2
wolfenstein 3d

and many more.

just curious, is it the fz-1 (front loader) or fz-10 (top loader)? if it's the fz-10, then that's a really good deal.

Its the original front-loader. Its in excellent quality because it has barely been used. Is the FZ-10 any better/rarer than the front loader?

i'm not sure about how rare it is, but it's more sought after. now i don't know if that's due to it being rarer or that people just like it more. however, i do know that i prefer the top loader to the front loader for 3 reasons...

1) you can manage the internal memory (game files and such) without using a sampler disc.

2) it's smaller and lighter.

3) the controller that comes with the fz-10 feels a little better.
