Model 2 would be a good choice. They average about $30 on CL. You might be able to get a bundle and flip the games. I expect them to start shooting up in price soon as the Nintendo stuff has become prohibitively expensive for many people.

From what I understand Genesis 3 has crummy sound but I never noticed anything on my friends unit when I was a kid.

If you see a broken model 2 that doesn't turn on, it most likely just needs some more solder on the three power joints, it's like a 10 minute fix.

Please, whatever you do, don't get the one that guy's holding on the right. It's a piece of shit SOAC clone made my a third party company that doesn't work properly.

>Genesis 3 has crummy sound

On the contrary it's very clean, but it's mono only apparently.

No kidding? Thanks for the heads up. I'll avoid that one. Weird that it's pictured with the other 2 though, that being the case. I had a model 2 as a kid. Never seen that one on the left though. Guessing that's a model 1? Yes. Just googled. Anyways, thanks for the heads up.

Interesting. My tv is mono so maybe I'll pick this up if it's cheap (not op btw).

>>3617396
The model 1 is also mono, except it also has a stereo headphone jack.

Anyway, the model 3 isn't even made by Sega. Get a model 1 if you can.

I have a sudden urge to play the megadrive (genesis). Mine (the first model) suddenly broke while playing 2-3 years ago. What model do you recommend me to buy ? Is it true that they are creating a new one in Brazil ?

I already have the hookups for a model 2/3 and space is tight so the model 3 looked nice for being so compact but it would be nice to try some master system games so I'll just get a model 2. I have one at my mom's place that I grew up with but am being very impatient. Going there around Christmas...
(bought a Saturn a couple weeks ago and the guy gave me a broken model 2)

I think I'm gonna get the first model again. It just looks so good.

Model 1 has best sound, if you don't mind running a stereo audio cable from the headphone jack out into a splitter to composite (r/w) audio to your tv (or connect thru a sega cd for the same effect). Model 2 is slightly more compact and has stereo by default, but is notorious for buzzy sound.

The best Genesis coming though lads

It saddens me to know that there are people in this god forsaken world who cannot afford decent pleasantries such as this delightful entertainment unit
