It also looks like an Amiga CD32, and one of the later models of of CD-I...also, like of like a Marty, but a different color. It also looks like the prototype system from Taito that was never released (which I'm pretty sure was a PC Engine in disguise)
A lot of consoles looked the same back then.
BTW, I don't think any model of 3D0 was $1000 at any point. Not even in Japan, and this is a later priced-down model. It was more like $700 which is, adjusted for inflation, about what a PS3 cost.
Of course, as shitty as the PS3 is, blind loyalty will keep the user base high, and eventually software worth playing will be released, the price will come down, and someday, probably, it will be a machine worth owning. It's hard to imagine, but this is exactly what happened to the PS2. That thing was f*cking worthless when it came out, but now it has the best software library of any currently supported system.
