the extension box. This was the only prototype in the world. It never
made it to manufacturing since Sega had cancelled their hardware
gaming console business plans The original purpose of the extension
box was to save game scores to the Zip media and load additional
players characters into the Dreamcast games. This is a rare
collectible item for the serious gamer connoisseur."

"The drive works electrically, loads, locks, and unloads the disk.
There are no games that it works with since the games would have to
load some kind of drivers. Notice there is a Dreamcast Zip disk with
it."


Gee that makes me want to rush right out and bid....

totally agree. not worth even $1,000. maybe $100?

for $10,000, if it could only be spent on something from Sega, would
be better spent on a few quality arcade cabs.

I question how that is "one of a kind" when it looks exactly like the DC
kiosks I used to see in every gaming store when the DC launched...
