Around 2003 my mom found a funky CD player and gave it to me for my HiFi setup. It took forever to boot up, and it was heavy as shit, but it played CD'S! I never heard of CDi, but I had a feeling it the weird CD player was meant to do something more.

Anyways it took too much space and weighed as much as a cinder block so I threw it outside in my dads scrap pile.

Long story short my friend and I got bored one day and beat it with hammers. It wasn't until the video game nerd covered it back in 07 that I realized what I had done lmao. Still wish I had it now that I collect vintage video games.
