    You're in Florida, though. Aren't Model 1s a dime a dozen where you're at?
    Yes, I have 3 American model 1's, but prefer the Japanese variant.

    It's no batter or worse, if anything, maybe a little worse due to no RF shielding, but it's a Mega Drive. I love it.

    evildragon: Go to the title screen options, select "detect disc" and the game will open the tray for you, like Joe Redifer said.

    Ok. Well "Detect Disc" isn't exactly easy to figure out. Should say Eject or something.. I don't think that was even in the manual.

    I am rather curious to know a ballpark estimate as to how many copies have sold at this point. Are we talking Hundreds? Thousands?

    Well, if I remember correctly someone mentioned the first run was 800 per region variation, so that's 2400 right there. Plus theres a couple hundred of the posterity edition.

    So if that's correct that's pushing to 3000 right there without including any of the reprints.

    I estimate around 2600 originals+2000 reprints+2000 reprints again+ 1500 ENG/SPA/POR= 8000 units or so

    3x 800 = 2400 was the initial print run, and that included the posterity editions (which were identical to the others aside of a sticker and the Size 16 magazine/hint book)

    The reprints were 500 each so that's another 1500 if I am not mistaken.
    The Mega Drive was far inferior to the NES in terms of diffusion rate and sales in the Japanese market, though there were ardent Sega users. But in the US and Europe, we knew Sega could challenge Nintendo. We aimed at dominating those markets, hiring experienced staff for our overseas department in Japan, and revitalising Sega of America and the ailing Virgin group in Europe.

    Then we set about developing killer games.

    btw, is there any differences between posterity and classic editions? aside from tiny sticker and insert inside? I'm not sure I should open my posterity edition to find out

    No, but you can pre-order it separately with the soundtrack.
