That looks to me like an original 80s Sanyo M1201 (I'm pretty sure that's the model number). As cool as the idea is, it's potentially devastating for the remaining un-modified 80s boxes. :sad: I'm hoping they don't kill too many boxes by doing this, especially the high-end stereo boxes we all love. Hopefully they'll only do it to cheapo monos like this.

I don't want to seem like a total kill-joy here. :-D Heck, if I saw that for sale somewhere, I'd buy it! :yes:

:agree:
If this gets popular, they will make more....and the more they make, the more classic boxes will get destroyed. I'd hate to see a high end box get this done to it. It's a little less painful when its a less desireable box. BUT.....that is cool looking, and I love Street Fighter II!!

I really don't think they're going to catch on, in China I hear there is lots of warehouses full of vintage everything' It is what it is.
