Just got back from spending some time with the former Vice President of Interactive Media Systems for Philips and ended up getting a whole bundle of stuff. Some things of particular interest:
- A HUGE lot of demo games, some unreleased, also a Zelda's Adventure red demo disc.
- An unreleased wireless trackball controller
- A Sega Justifier gun modified and run through a converter box to work on a 3DO. This is a precursor of the released Peacekeeper.
- A boat load of CDI discs used at various conventions, shows, and meetings, with demos, tech info, and advertising/marketing information.
- Several systems and maybe 150 retail games/videos.
I'll start with some pictures, but I'll definitely update with more info. This is another find I can credit Matt with, huge props to him:

Very cool. Secret Name of Ra was supposedly released in Germany, but I don't know if anyone actually has reported having a copy. Everything else pictured was released in some region or another or has previously been found, but still very, very cool. I'm sure the CD-i collectors sites would be interested to see what you've got.

Just to get this out of the way, is there anything interesting/new in the discs featuring the "Unholy Triforce"? <_< (refering to the Zelda games)

Unfortunately, no. The "Demo" discs are all the same as the final retail versions. The WIP discs aren't anything crazy, though Secret name of Ra and Go are unreleased. Go was released much after the console had died, but Secret name of Ra was never released in any form.
