different CD-i 180 models

Anything relating to CD-i can be discussed in this forum. From the multiple hardware iterations of the system to the sofware including games, reference, music and Video CDs. Maybe you hold an interest in Philips Media and the many development houses set up to cater for CD-i if so then this is the forum.

different CD-i 180 models

Here are two pictures of the 180/181/182 CD-i set:

The top component (180 I'd say) is different in both pictures. Are there more models of it? I'm sure it's just a cosmetic revision, although it looks like it has a few more buttons as well!

The top one has a more standard cd-rom caddy (like some plextor drives), the bottom one has a 'Philips' style cd caddy. There's also a third design in the book Philips , study of corporate management and design, although I think that's not part of a CD-i player but rather another system (MSX?).
