The Pioneer Laseractive is probably one of the most complicated home consoles ever to grace the videogame market. The reason for its grandeur is that the Laseractive was the only console ever to play not only play laserdisc movies but also audio CD, graphic CDs, karaoke CDs & laserdiscs and play Sega Genesis carts, Sega CDs, Turbo Grafx 16 HuCards, Turbo CDs, and special laserdisc videogames that were specially produced for the Laseractive, all while costing more than a month’s mortgage. How much do you think the privilege to play all of these different formats on one system would cost? More than the PS3 asking price. Yeah, it was that expensive.
