Sega Genesis CDX Portable Released

Via engadget comes news of an handheld i know you want on your wish list.

It's no Bill Paxton Pinball, but Ben Heck's portable Sega Genesis CDX is certainly up there in terms of superfluous gaming mods. As Heck points out, a lot of the console's games were "FMV nonsense," but, like most gaming systems, the 1994-released CDX had its ardent supporters. For those of you who fit the description, Heck's combined the CD drive and motherboard from an old CDX with a chopped six-button Genesis controller, an old camcorder battery, and a four-inch LCD screen to bring you a bulky but portable console. Now you can enjoy a game of Snatcher at the laundromat while your Sonic the Hedgehog Underoos hit the spin cycle.

Awesome news ! I dont see the buttons on handheld and does cd slip into back? The 5 in 1 genesis cd is a must for this. How much does it cost where buy or is this a diy demo?

i think its more of a diy venture, looks smart though

I'm assuming the camcorder battery was for the screen?

The cdx already had a battery slot for the console itself.
