Released by Mattel on {{#formatdate:2006-10-23|mdy}}, the '''HyperScan''' quickly gained a reputation as one of the worst game consoles ever made. It was panned by critics and players for its long loading times (stemming from the choice of CD-ROMs as a storage media), outdated and unreliable hardware, content locked behind trading cards and the resulting neverending cost of operation (the cards, costing {{Inflation|USD|10|2006}} per-pack for a random selection of cards, were required for the games to work).
Released by Mattel on {{#formatdate:2006-10-23|mdy}}, the '''HyperScan''' quickly gained a reputation as one of the worst game consoles ever made. It was panned by critics and players for:
* Locking content behind trading cards.
* The neverending cost of operation (the cards, costing {{Inflation|USD|10|2006}} per-pack for a random selection of cards, were required for the games to work)  
* Long loading times (stemming from the choice of CD-ROMs as a storage media, which its hardware could not handle well)
* Unreliable hardware (the scanner for the cards often didn't work correctly)


The HyperScan has also not aged well, finding a working system these days can be a challenge.
