Hmm. I ordered a day later and mine is "exporting". I received a tracking number but it isn't active yet. Still needs to get into the hands of DHL apparently.

Sega CD Optical Drive Emulator Announced | Play Ripped ISOs on Original Genesis/Mega Drive Hardware, €232.00, Launches in August

Maybe it's a by location sort of thing, like it has to reach distributors or something? I'm in Texas FWIW.
They said they were going in order number. They shipped out anyone who paid in the first 45 minutes about two weeks ago. They did the rest over the weekend. Maybe check with them on your order status.
I have been following this stuff on twitter and they have a shipping update page on their forums.
well that's a bummer. I probably wasn't in the first 45 minutes but i ordered as soon as I saw it online that day. Hope it ships soon.
can you play an actual audio CD through it? If your rip it and boot up the bios menu, will it allow you to listen to music on it like a juke box?
This is interesting as hell but damn if Sega CD games aren't expensive to collect right now.
I only have Sonic CD US & JP versions. :lol

I think they have been sent out but they are going through another service before they reach Spain and DHL.
There's no excuse for the shipping delay. Shipping was not free and on top of that we will all have to pay customs and shit.
My Neo Sd pro order went much smoother. Shipped and received within three days of order.
But like with a lot of retro focused products like this, we are simply treated as people who should be grateful instead of customers.

I had a package in transit email with tracking last Saturday, but still get a "No result found for your DHL query" if I click on it, so I assume it must be stuck between Andorra and Spain.
Is the shipping number active? Mine is still not and I received it last Monday.
Just coasting through this thread and I would like to say I'm in the same boat. If you look on the Terra Onion forums it looks like the 8/3 shipped date had a bunch of people and I haven't seen anyone say they've actually gotten an active tracking number yet. It's frustrating and it's time consuming, but I think if you got your tracking number Aug 3 or later, it's going to be a waiting game. Here's hoping it arrives in the next week or two.
I looked up my 2 favorite SCD games on Amazon & ebay.
Lunar: EB goes for like $100 (disc-only) to $300 (CiB).
Popful Mail starts at around $200 and can get about double that.
Ouch. I mean, I had fun with them back in the day, but at those prices, I'm okay with staying with my memories (or in the case of Lunar:EB, the PS1 remake that I already own).
I almost got a dual pack of both Lunar games on Sega CD, complete, recently for 300$ but got outbid at the last 3 seconds. :(
I also have both on PS1....so yeah, I think I'll stick to those versions unless a similar deal pops up.
Shiiiiit, mine is still stuck in limbo and I can't wait to get it. But not looking forward to that .
Looks like Terraonion sent a second "damage control" email stating that it will take an additional 3 weeks.
Email states that DHL picked it up, but my tracking number is still not working.
Thank god I only paid like 250 Euro (shipping was 18 Euro), I'm obviously lucky just to give them my money.
The process with my NeoSD Pro was so much smoother, guys. What happened?

They moved from Spain to Andorra and this one is way more popular.
looooooooooool
glad I didn't order. didn't realise andorra was outside the customs union.
Once it entered DHL's system it zoomed through Barcelona, Brussels, Luton and Heathrow and is now in Canada. All in one day. It says I should have it by Monday but I imagine it will probably arrive here by Friday. Maybe even tomorrow. Can't wait.
EDIT: Just got hit with $62 in customs fees in Canuckistan. Ouch. Unlike those in EU countries, I was expecting a customs charge but that is more than I was hoping for.

Yes because it seems that their prices now are not exactly the prices their stuff was selling for minus 21% VAT when they were operation from Spain. It seems there is some "padding".
Just a reminder from when I brought up their terms and conditions - they also offer very consumer-unfriendly terms and conditions that would not be allowed in the EU.
They've been shady from the very first product. It's a shame they make interesting things.
I still have my side-loader Sega CD set up under my TV. I haven't played it in years so I really should fire it up, but hooking up the two giant plugs is daunting considering the nightmare of cables back there. This technology is really cool, but I just don't see how it's worth the money. The Sega CD has preciously few great games, and even fewer that are exclusive to the system. Back when I got it games could still be gotten for cheap, in fact I picked up most of them in a box for like $15 (Including Sonic CD). I'm happy that people are enjoying the system, I'm just afraid this is going to be an example of people buying something and being disappointed when they remember that most games are closer to Sewer Shark than Sonic CD.
It also makes me wonder if I should consider selling my copy of Panzer Dragoon Saga before easy to use emulation hardware for the Saturn becomes available.

Its only a matter of time. Im sure youve seen the Satiator being developed.
But I mean I have back ups of saturn games I own that I copied and could play using psuedo Saturn. so its not as if its that hard to play legally burned/legally owned back ups anyway. (I have another set of some games because I travel back and forth often to my parents home/my own home)
Ther est of your post doesnt really make sense to me. Of course its not worth it, you have a Sega CD. But buying one that is sure to work with my Model 1 Genesis is nearly the same cost as this product. That's the appeal, and also the fact stuff like Lunar and Teminator CD that are exorbitantly priced.
