Seeing the Sega-CD with a retail price of $49.99 hurt my soul.
I bought mine on release day and specifically remember selling my entire pewter figure collection and just barely having the $311.99 (after taxes) for my Sega-CD at "Best"... Not "Best Buy"... Just "Best".
Still don't regret it.
I remember Best. Basically the same as Service Merchandise. Write the item number down, go to a old 3270 terminal (think green screen crt), order the item, and wait for it to come down the conveyor thingy… good times.
