    Default XBand

    Anyone remember the old school XBand network? Was wondering if anyone had the SNES XBand? If someone is willing to put an auction up on EBay for it I'd like to buy it. I have the Sega one Factory Sealed, just want to add the SNES one to my collection factory sealed or not.

    I guess while we are on the subject, anyone remember the Sega Channel? I have the component of that too. Man I sooooo miss the 90s. Hope everyone is having a good weekend and gets some good finds.

    xband comes up on ebay once in a while...keep your eyes open, youll see one fairly soon.

    do a search for sega channel, im sure theres several threads about it already, might give you some good nostalgic info about it.

    Ya I already own the Sega Channel piece. I saw a SNES XBand on EBay awhile ago but the auction already finished (I was on vacation at the time) oh well.

    Edit: I'm surprised XBand isn't in the Online Rarity Guide.. maybe it should be added.

    It is in the rarity guide, man. Just go back there and use X-Band (like so) instead of XBand and you'll find it. That search feature is case sensitive. Keep that in mind when you are looking up other stuff, it really makes a difference how you enter it in

    If you want to see some old X-Band (or Sega Channel) discussions/threads we've had here in the past and read other people's experiences, just use the search at the top of these forums and you should be able to find a few good threads. I never had the Sega Channel and always envied people I knew who did.

    Hope that helps!

    Yeah I remember doing a thread about this as well when I found one sealed in the wild. I was wondering what the heck it was.
    Looking to buy any Criterion movies that I don't already have.

    There were a couple of x-band threads awhile ago. Check those.

    Unfortunately I never got into xband, I was too scared of long distance bills

    Forgot to mention. I found a XBand T-Shirt in my basement the other day. I'm preparing to move in with my girlfriend in March so I'm finding all this stuff I forgot I had.
