Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

everything will die eventually but the Atari 2600 is much older but its not dead yet, and I don't think the CD-i is dying at a faster rate than other consoles. My player was made in 1998 and I bought it brand new so I don't have to worry for about it for some time. Btw there are players that do have replaceable batteries you know.

You sure the CD based games will still be in a good enough condition to play?

this very fear is the main reason why I made the switch to emulators and roms even though ideally I prefer to play on original hardware truth is some consoles and games are so rare emulating is the only way to really enjoy those games now.
