Models in the 200 series were designed for general consumption, and were available at major home electronics outlets around the world. The Philips CDI 910 is the American version of the CDI 205, the most basic model in the series and the first Philips CD-i model, released in December 1991. Originally priced about {{US$|long=no|799}}, within a year's time the price dropped to {{US$|long=no|599}}.<ref>{{Cite web| url=https://books.google.com/books?id=oOQCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA18| title=New York Magazine| date=October 12, 1992| access-date=October 16, 2019| archive-date=May 2, 2024| archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20240502201815/https://books.google.com/books?id=oOQCAAAAMBAJ&pg=PA18#v=onepage&q&f=false| url-status=live}}</ref> *The '''CD-i player 300 series''', which includes the 310, 350, 360, and 370 models. The 300 series consists of portable players designed for the professional market and not marketed to home consumers. A popular use was multimedia sales presentations such as those used by pharmaceutical companies to provide product information to physicians, as the devices could be easily transported by sales representatives.<ref name="gamefaqs.gamespot.com"/> *The '''CD-i player 400 series''', which includes the 450, 470, 490 models. The 400 models are slimmed-down units aimed at console and educational markets. The CDI 450 player, for instance, is a budget model designed to compete with game consoles. In this version, an infrared remote controller is not standard but optional, as this model is more gaming-oriented. This series was introduced at CES [[Chicago]] in June 1994 and the 450 player retailed at {{currency|799|NLG}} in the Netherlands.<ref name="CDiMagazine" /> *The '''CD-i player 500 series''', which includes the 550 model, which was essentially the same as the 450 with an installed digital video cartridge.

The 600 series is designed for professional applications and software development. Units in this line generally include support for [[floppy disk]] drives, [[computer keyboard|keyboards]] and other computer peripherals. Some models can also be connected to an emulator and have software testing and debugging features. *The '''CD-I player 700 series''', which consists of the 740 model, the most advanced player and featuring an [[RS-232]] port. It was only released in limited quantities. There also exist a number of hard-to-categorize models, such as the FW380i, an integrated mini-stereo and CD-i player; the 21TCDi30, a television with a built-in CD-i device; the CD-i/PC 2.0, a CD-i module with an [[Industry Standard Architecture|ISA]] interface for IBM-compatible 486 PCs.<ref>{{cite book |author=Staff writer |year=1994 |title=21TCDI30 Handbook |publisher=Philips |via=[[Internet Archive]]}}</ref><ref>[http://www.icdia.co.uk/brochures/prof_players/cdipc20_a.jpg Philips Media Systems] {{Webarchive|url=https://web.archive.org/web/20190513050116/http://icdia.co.uk/brochures/prof_players/cdipc20_a.jpg |date=May 13, 2019 }} icdia.co.uk</ref> <gallery perrow="4" widths="150" mode="packed" caption="Gallery"> File:Philips CD-i 180 (1).jpg|Philips CDI 180 File:CD-i-910-Console-Set.jpg|Philips CDI 910 (American version of the CDI 205) File:Computerspielemuseum-54 (16928508947).jpg|Philips CDI 210 File:Philips-CDi-220-wController-FL.jpg|Philips CDI 220 File:Philips-CDi-400-Console-Set.jpg|Magnavox CDI 550 (NTSC) with its paddle controller.
