The "Is This a Good Deal?" + "What's This Worth?" Thread

[Luke]

If you are purchasing it thinking you are getting a good console, pass.

There is nothing wrong with the 3DO.

Not the console itself, but its game library.

[jp1]

The 3DO has a lot of great games. It has a lot of bad ones too. It certainly doesn't get the credit it deserves though. There is certainly more than $20 worth of enjoyment to be had.

Many of the ports are superior to those found on other systems.

Yeah, there's certainly enough games to justify $20 to me. Just the obscure fighting games and PC ports are enough.

Only reason I held back before was due to the high cost of the system.

check out Icebreaker, i spent a LOT of time with that when i had my first 3DO (i've owned three, haha).

I can vouch for that game. I had it on PC back in about 1995 or '96 and it was pretty fun.

I am considering making this purchase tonight. I am only going after the games and not the system. The games in bold are really the only things I care about. I will be resellling the system and accessories and keeping all of the good games. Do you think its a good deal and should I go for it without lowering the price?

Go for it

Marvel VS Capcom 2 goes for 30-40 dollars

[Crystalis]

This is a no brainer.

The two marvel v. capcom games are basically worth that much.

Nice find!

Sometimes, I think people post these "should I get it?" threads to tease us. Let me put it this way; if you don't get it, I will!
