TIL that in 1996 they made a USS-Defiant CD player

  If you owned one of these and it broke it would have been replaced under warranty, but instead of shipping you another USS Defiant CD player, they’d send you a USS São Paulo CD player. You could still call it the Defiant after-the-the-fact, but deep down you would know it wasn’t the same.

    You got a Sao Paulo? All I got was a shitty Valiant.

  The 90s were a wild time to be alive.

  I would love to have one of those. Couldn’t find any active listings, but old listings had them going for like $250+ which isn’t too bad for a collector’s item, I guess.

  I did come across a TNG CD holder: www.ebay.com/itm/117030364928

  Apparently you can only fit 4 compact discs in a Galaxy class ship lol

    Depending on when it came out $250 wouldn’t even have been that expensive. I think the early discmans were about that price, albeit for a bundle that came with headphones and a car charger and stuff.

  Am I the only one thinking this liiks like AI slop? The text on the box is super inconsistent

    We thought so to, so we went ahead and looked up a free more boxes and nah that’s just how it was designed. Image Image Image

    Could also be a bad AI upscale. My iphone does it with text that’s far away

  I’d love to listen to listen to my nu metal CD’s on this.

  Does it cloak?

    That’s why nobody can find theirs anymore.

  Given the shape of it, it would have been rude not to.

  That packaging is way too large.
