[[File:LaserActive.jpg|thumb|The Pioneer LaserActive]]The '''Pioneer LaserActive''' is a converged device and fourth-generation capable of playing Laserdiscs, Compact Discs, console games, and LD-G karaoke discs. It was released by Pioneer Corporation in 1993. In addition to LaserActive games, separately sold add-on modules (called "PACs" by Pioneer) accepts Sega [[Mega Drive]] and [[PC Engine]] ROM cartridges and CD-ROMs.
Pioneer released the LaserActive model '''CLD-A100''' in Japan on August 20, 1993 at a cost of ¥89,800, and in the United States on September 13, 1993 at a cost of $970. NEC later released a cloned version of the system, the NEC PDE-LD1, which also accepted Pioneer's PAC modules. The LaserActive was a commercial failure.
