Good thing power strips exist

don't forget the power supplies you'll need for your mega karaoke and sega channel!

Wasn't someone working on an all-in-one power cable for this purpose? Did it ever get released?

You needed a plug for the TV and sound system as well. WTF were they thinking! FIVE PLUGS?!?!? Not even NASA could build a device that gives you five plugs.

It kinda doesnt matter since everyone just plays the basic genesis

How?

Literally the only kid I knew in elementary school who had a Sega CD was poor as shit and lived in a decrepit haunted house looking shanty. Same deal with the only 3DO kid, was a poor Mexican kid whose brother died while huffing gasoline, and his single mother bought him fancy shit with credit cards as poor folks often do.

I had the opposite exerience. The kid with every console and the massive screen was the son of the local IP startup's owner. His dad owned most of the fiberoptic line in the area, and designed machines for large factories around the world. Money was never an object. we would chill there, order whatever delivery we wanted and play games all day every day.

But, if you're buying everything on credit anyways, are you still worried about bills? It's that, "It'll work itself out" mindset that CC companies love.

I swear to god it was like this an entire year ago, when are they planning to get this shit going?

There have been sighting of it on this board. It just sells out fast because they do small runs. I can't blame them. I wouldn't want to sit on a warehouse of these either.

>life support

nice avgn meme

I was a spoiled rotten beat who had every system growing up. I always had all my consoles hooked up simultaneously. An extra plug didn't deter me and my powerstrips.

>>3263816
I bet it was around $80.

>>3263515
I think I was that Sega CD kid. My grandparents bought it for my birthday because I brought my failing grades up as promised.

$9.99

Don't mind me. Just showing you the proper way to do an add-on.

never leave an unplugged plug unplugged

>>3263816
Why make the plugs for the devices so large when it could have had a brick in the middle and that goes to a regular plug?
Didn't one of the Atari systems do that?

>>3266698
This is Sega we're talking about, not Apple.

>>3269083
Are you thinking of the Atari 5200?

>>3269083
>don't I run a 1 foot extension cord from the brick to the outlet?
I don't know. Retarded?

This one works with the tower of power, and bucketloads of different consoles.

>They have gigantic power adaptors in the plug, rather than having an inline power brick
>So you can't place two next to each other on a power strip
Fucking disgusting, I absolutely loathe it when manufacturers do this.
