Sega released a semi-portable unit that doubles as both a SEGA CD and SEGA Genesis called the Sega Genesis CDX, which was named the Sega Multi Mega in Europe. This unit retailed at $399.95 in America  (roughly $100 more than the individual Genesis and Sega CD units put together, since the Sega CD had dropped its price to $229 half a year before ), and was bundled with Sonic the Hedgehog CD , Sega Classics Arcade , and the Sega CD version of Ecco the Dolphin.  It is incompatible with some games due to overheating and electrical shock issues. The CDX features a small LCD  screen that when you put a Music CD in, displays the name of the track.   With this feature and how lightweight the console is (About Two-Pounds), Sega marketed it in part as a portable CD player . The CDX was a 4th Generation console and was one of the 1st Party Sega Genesis models. It can also use the 32X accessory but it can be difficult to open the disk slot to use it. The SEGA CDX also influenced the design of the SEGA Saturn.
