Did I get a good deal on this 3DO lot?

Just sniped this, did I get a good deal on it?

Also, 3DO games are resurfacable, right? Not sensitive like DC?

And this is my first 3DO, what games that are fairly cheap do you recommend I play?

Holy sweet merciful zombie jesus thats a good deal. Lucky bugger.

[hellfire]

thats an awsome deal!

[mobiusclimber]

System alone is worth more than that.

[tubeway]

Great deal for the system alone, as others have said.

I think all of the loose discs scared others away that want complete copies, and you ended up getting a bargain.

Well done!

As for what games you should get - Out of this World and Super Street Fighter II Turbo

Alright, thanks for the help.
I really shouldn't have spent the money on games right now, but this was too good of a deal to pass up. =D
So, does anyone know if these are safe to resurface?

I don't know if there's any issue with resurfacing them, but from what I've heard and experienced, 3DO discs are some resilient mothers. We're talking discs so scratched they look foggy playing with no lag or skip whatsoever, so you may not have to take that step. Any problems I have had with skipping or freezing was actually due to pinholes in the CD data itself, so you might want to check the discs for those.

Alright, thanks for the info. Hopefully they're just badly scratched so I can fix em.

You were very lucky with that deal. I payed 150 bucks for an FZ-1 Panasonic 3DO with one controller and just 2 games under a year ago.

A few retro stores around me that have 3DO consoles available price them at $80, so you got a deal. I don't know how good the Goldstar frontloader is on the reliability front, though. And looks like you have some good software to start out.

I would think the shipping alone is almost what you paid.
