11 Facts About the 3DO That You Maybe Didn't Know | Panasonic | Goldstar | M2
226Interested in the 3DO and the models released by several manufacturers? Here's 11 facts about the system because I'm funny like that! Was it really region free? What was the major processing first for the platform? How much did it really cost at launch? For best results view at 1080p60fps.
UPDATE: regarding the cable modem comment, I misspoke a smidge. They WERE out in my area of NY in 1995 (we were a test market) which was earlier than most of the country. However, we didn't get ours until late 96 or early 97.
