I believe that it was $550 Canadian when it debuted here. It was worth every penny though, particularly with the ton of quality software it came with.

I paid $400 for mine, but remember how low the dollar was back "then".

$300 was a ton of money back then, It took me forever just to afford the $200 Sega CD back when the price dropped on those.

Yeah, my brothers and I paid ~$300-350 for TG-CD and it was a friggin' ton of money. I think it was all of our birthday + xmas + raking leaves / shoveling snow for neighbors money combined.

I think that the Turbo Express was also around $500 at Radio Shack and bumped up to $550+ after tax. But I got mine like within weeks after RS brought it in.

Around the same time, Nintendo sent me a 'letter' telling me about how the Canadian pricing for their system was cheaper than in the U.S., because Nintendo cared enough about us less fortunates.

I received junk mail from Nintendo for years after my early Nintendo Power subscription ran out. Including the DKC video.
