Which is Better M1 SCD or M2 SCD?

Sure the Model 1 gets an A for its appearance but the Model 2 gets a point for being more reliable but which one is better?

The Model 1 is better not just because it looks better but you can go to the menu and just press open tray instead of having to get up and press the eject button on the console.

I thought the second model was better, but now that I have the first model, I change my mind. It is so cool that you can open and close the disc tray with the controller, and it looks better too! It seems to work fine to me, so I think it is reliable.

And the one thing that sets the Model 1 from the Model 2 is that little control panel with ur access and ready light I had the system for about six months now and I still think its so cool looking.

Yep, that is artistic technology at it's finest.

The X'eye way cooler than both Model 1 & 2 combined :p

Model 1 looks a lot better than the garbage can appearance that the Model 2 has. I like the way the Model 1 looks better, but the Model 2 is much more reliable.

Very true should I add the X'eye and the CDX to the poll??

Yeah, that would be good, since both of them are unique. But if you do that, than I vote CDX. That has the best version of the disc drive, a locking spindle.

It has the shitty ASIC clone chip which causes poor sound to MD games, so it fails miserably.

I have only played on a Mega CD 2 but the first model is way, way cooler and that's why I'm searching for one so I think that my vote goes to Mega CD 1.

1 is cooler: wish I'd kept the one I bought brand new back in the day--my replacement used one is having issues.

Yes add Xeye and CDX to the list... My vote is the CDX!!!
Small, compact, light weight. And slightly faster load times because of the new bios!!!

Umm, you still have to get up to change the game, unless you're sitting right in front of the system/tv. In which case you might as well press a damn button to pop the lid open.

I prefer the Model 2, because I just like top-loader disc systems better.

I dunno. My X'Eye sounds the same as the Model 2 Genesis I was using prior Better, in some cases.

The model II Genesis also has the ASIC clone chip. Get the early model I!
