It contains the PAS16 card, a double speed CD-ROM drive (I think it was Sanyo, or some other name brand), and a few games (most of which are fairly lame, but what the hey). Not too bad a deal. What really sold it to me is that the CD-ROM drive has a drawer instead of the caddy system, and my wife and kids are techno-dummies so I figure the less complicated, the better.
