Even as a collector, I've never laid my hands on one of these. (lemmy.world)

During Covid, I had to sell a childhood treasure: my JVC X'EYE, still complete with original controller and power supply, fully functional.

But the shop owner did right by me, cleaned up my old discs, and we went through them one by one before I left, as he'd never seen one in person, either.

My favorite part is that it was the cheap, knock-off alternative when I was a kid, but now it's crazy valuable because it was so rare.

I have an X`Eye, love that thing. It has the best sound out of any genesis model IMO.
