"dafuq" ?

How do you say that in a Greek type accent/manner?
Wave your hands, smirk your face and go like "Malaka Pousti dafuq!"

But yeah that PAL Turbo had a limited distribution in Europe.

I guess you need the little base plate thing though and that is just as hard as finding the actual CD unit.

This is true.

I got lucky a few years back and snagged one of those Docking Stations relatively cheaply.
IIRC, the PC Engine CD unit I bought off gamedoctorhk.com.

But yeah those items aren't easy to find. Looking on eBay now it seems most things to do with TG16/PC Engine have really risen in price.

I'm willing to record a voice clip of that and publish it here in return for a good Polandball joke that I haven't seen before, extra points if it's about Greece.

The funny thing is that even RetroGamer Magazine got it wrong. Probably because it didn't even get that limited release in the UK.

"In the United Kingdom, Telegames released a slightly altered version of the American model simply as the TurboGrafx around 1990 in extremely limited quantities."

That's all I got.

Interesting. Well anyway it's probably super rare, I wonder how much the OP paid for it.

Well if were talking eBay then it's not really "super rare" in terms of sourcing one.

This seller has been listing these for years:

Although the cost has definitely risen.
I recall those going for around $80 odd a while back.

If anything, unholy uselessness has kept its price down. Difficult to get excited for a console zero known game development occurred. I don't recall even a homebrew tech demo showing how native 50hz games could've performed.

Only for hardcore collectors. I hope none of these boxed new ones ever get opened. Let them stay boxed forever. That or mod it to run @ 60hz!
There's a crappy game shop in The Hague in the Netherlands that sells this system. Or at least sold a new system somewhere in 2013.
