I thought since you want to see pictures of the 3DO Blaster with CD Drive, here's my unit with the 'correct' Cd Rom, the CR-563:

Ooh nice -- thanks!

Don't bother to put it up for sale though - just PM me the price

I would say 'nice' as well, but a bit too much yellowing on the cd drive for me (wonder if it still works), and the box is quite sun-faded.

On the other hand, I never understood all the excitement for the 3DO Blaster anyway.

Of course it's nice...it's a 3DO Blaster.
The yellowing is not bad at all actually, it's like you see on the little picture, hardly noticeable. I've seen worse SNESs and STs. But of course, on the Creative CD Rom, it's get stronger with time, it can't be avoided. We had threads about it on Digital Press and Atari Age acknowledging the problem.
Yes, the CD Rom works perfectly (as does the 3DO Blaster, btw), why do I want to have/keep a broken CD Rom?
The 3DO Blaster box is a little sun-faded, but I guess so would you be if you were sitting four years in a shop window in California. Glad to have a box from Americans at all, that's a rarity in itself. Worse is that the two Aldus programs weren't included when purchased.
Your last sentence, well, that's video gaming...

As for 3D0Kid, no sale, sorry, but US offers I got are already at $500
