The Philips CD-i was an attempt by Philips to create a multi-purpose CD player that, in addition to being able to play regular CDs, had the ability to play video games and movies through special CDs. However, its $700 asking price, wildly inconsistent game quality, and lack of proper controller spelled certain doom for the CD-i.
