I dunno whether to post this in June or May, but I won't be getting it until a few days, so I guess June...and it's still hinging on the unit actually working.

Yep, that's 0.99 for a CD-I. Well, $18 shipped. Not only mispelling Philips and spelling out Compact Disk Interactive, with a k in disc nonetheless, I'm pretty sure anyone looking for a CD-I missed this listing. I always wanted one, but didn't want to bite the bullet on $80-100. The A/V cables look standard, so that is easy, my one worry is the controller, which seem to be hard to come by on their own. I won't buy one until I can test the unit either. If it all works out in the end, I figured I saved myself $40-50, so crossing my fingers.
