I never knew that these existed!

It makes sense though.

I owned one of these back in the day. All of my video game systems were connected to it. Great power strip. Enjoyed Classic Game Room's review. Thanks for the link.

I now have plans of obtaining one and modding it so that the Sega letters glow when plugged in...

[megasdkirby]

Just saw one on Ebay for over $100!

Great to have at at collector stand point, but I rather just purchase a similar one for 90% less.

[Shadow Kisuragi]

$100?! Wow...okay, maybe that won't be my pet project then. Maybe I'll just use a similar power strip instead. The idea still lives, though.

Hey yo!
Sega had to make this.. so you could hook up you Genesis/Sega CD/32X!

Sega - lookin out for ya

[pseudonym]

That's bad ass, but seriously, $100 for a power strip with the Sega logo?

This type works better because it has one switch for each outlet. You can turn off system plugs that are not in use, thereby eliminating "vampire drain."

wow! i'm SO looking for one like this

are they available in european (dutch) power outs aswel?

[Sosage]

YES! I remember seeing this thing and being like, "God damn. Sega KNEW that they designed some fucked up shit, but they are making it right."

Never got one though.

As a grown up living in the future year of 2010, I have one of those long ass metal powerstrips with plugs pointed in the same way. Although that one posted above me looks sexy and I do worry about vampires in my wiring. Once they're in the walls you'll never get them out.

As someone above said, they advertised this with a flyer in the 32X box. They obviously knew they screwed up with the power plugs and had to correct it. The flyer even mentions another Genesis accessory that had yet another plug -- the Sega Channel!

"What do you do? Don't Panic! Would Truxtan panic? No!"

Actually, I was most impressed when he put in the Colecovision adaptor and it still looked roomy.

[ganondorf]

This is awesome. I wish I had one, if anyone that has one wants to trade for something thats worth less then $100, send me a message. $100 is ridiculous.
