Isn't it sad to see a unit that seems in goo d condition and the "unique" owner is ruining it by inserting the Genesis card backwards x_x

I think it's to show the game label for a more appealing picture.
Ever notice that publicity photos for the PS2 feature a blue-back disc upside-down? We all know that the blue side faces down, but Sony wants to show off their unique blue CDs so it's eye-catching.

Well, for one thing, the pcb is the same shape upside down, so he's not ruining anything. And for another, if the people who built the thing had made a proper housing, it wouldn't even be possible to insert a cart upside down. I've done it many times, since I don't use my LA that often.

I think it is for illustration, and he included some popular titles. The problem that worries me is that he only mentions selling the laseractive, not the games, or even the accessories.

Wow, I just checked the DP guide and I thought Laseractves were worth way more, like $7-800 for just the main unit.
That's something that I've always wanted to track down in the wild, just because it's so obscure and doesn't really look like a game system, so I can picture a layperson parting with it for peanuts.
