The portable CD-I 370

cd-i 370cdi 370The Phillips CD-i 370 is a rather rare, portable and powerful version of the CD-i console. It is fully compatible with all CD-i games, comes complete with a digital video decoder to play VCDs, offers TV-out options, sports a rechargeable battery, can do both PAL and NTSC stuff, and is beautiful and compact enough to actually be ported around. To find out more about portable CD-i consoles click here.

To actually grab a CD-i 370 in great condition and what seems a logical price try this CD-i 370 eBay auction. Seller ships worldwide. Mind you, the battery pack of the console on offer does seem quite problematic. On the plus side, you do get a manual.
