Recently picked up a 3DO console, but I'm only mildly familiar with each of the models. I bought the Panasonic FZ-10, mainly because it look more like a gaming machine than a VCR. But I have read about minor compatibilities issues on certain models with certain games, and other minor issues. Does anyone know if any of these problems exist with the FZ-10? And what's the preferred model by gamers/collectors?

i use the FZ-10 for everything, and i havent run across a problem
i also have all the US released games but i havent played them all yet

collectors seem to like the FZ-1 the most, probably because you can stick other smaller systems ontop of it :)
i like the flip top because i dont want to wait for the door to slide out

most of the problems lie with the games themselves with saving issues, and not the system

the Goldstar is known to be the system with the most problems like the door not working or the drive motor dying out, but i have yet to experience this or any problems with all the systems

if you check out the link in my signiture there is tons of info on the 3DO, but its all over the place, you can find important info in odd places in the threads there :D
