I got an A570 for my A500 instead. Turns out that Amiga+CD is pretty much a match made in heaven (Forget encyclopedias and interactive movies... All those PD and later Aminet CD-ROMs were awesome), as long as you have the keyboard and mouse.
IMHO the CDTV was a nice system. But is was marred by a high launch price, bad software selection and a bad control system. Just like the CDI, the CDTV's remote was just not that good and failed at one of the potential killer apps (games). They ought to have supplied at least the option for a more gaming oriented controller and embraced the gaming part of the Amiga legacy. It may have worked better that way.

It turns out what they really wanted was a playstation.

Yes, I'd have loved a Playstation in 1991 as well
