Dreamcast for about $100

[Zordak]

If you get a Dreamcast you HAVE to get Soul Calibur. It is simply incredible.

I ordered a game from them a week or so ago, and it arrived very quickly. My cc was charged the full amount of the order, and then there was a credit for the coupon discount amount, sort of odd.

Why are you guys fighting over stuff thats not even in the US yet?
PS2 isnt here, Dolphin wont be here for a LONG time.
Same with Xbox.
Come on people =)

DC is awesome. Which other consoles offer direct arcade translation? and I mean direct

 

[kimbykimby]

I got the same email about it not being ready until the 17th... I just hope it is ready then.. who knows!

ps. you guys know of any deals on accessories?? I need an extra controller (or 2)

This isn't such a bad deal if the orders get filled. I've been happy with my DC but really haven't bought as many games as I had thought when i first purchased this puppy. I'm eagerly awaiting for the Xbox because I have seen what psx2 has offered since I played it at E3. As for the Dolphin, it might be good, but I'm not a huge fan of Nintendo's. Last console of theirs that I owned was the original Nintendo. They should just stick to Pokemon, it's the only thing i see that is keeping them alive. A few months ago, i would have told everyone that psx2 was going to kick ass, but the first generation games are so gritty and pixelated. E3 has opened my eyes. I went to get Virtual Tennis for the DC yesterday, but they sold out the same day it came out. I didn't know the game was so damn popular.

i'm beginning to doubt that these orders will ever get filled. i wrote several emails to them today and none got answered. i called, got no response (i posted the number earlier, if others want to call and tell them to get on the ball).

"we're expecting shipment today"
"shipment didn't come in today, but we're expecting it in today or tomorrow"
"shipment didn't come in again, but we're sure it'll be in by the end of the week"
"we're not expecting to ship the orders until the 17th"

it's the 17th and the order page still shows backordered.

we may have gotten a good price on them, but that's absolutely no reason for them to give us poor customer service. i say that we should cancel our orders soon if they don't come through. leave em with dozens of dreamcasts that they can't sell. see how they like that.

check out this link too. wish they had this on reseller ratings:

seems they do this a lot.

I ordered mine from twec.com on 6/30/00, got my dreamcast last friday (7/14/00). 2 of my friends ordered it on 6/30 as well and both got it last friday too.
have patience, your dreamcast will come. and the system is pretty damn good.

 

[kimbykimby]

I got mine today... ordered it on 7/7

 

[ExplodingBoy]

I ordered a DC and access. on 7/7. Got the accessories on Monday but still haven't gotten the DC. Here's hoping...

SoulCalibur is cool but I don't find much replay value. Crazy Taxi is the shiz. I hold all other games up to the altar of Crazy Taxi and they are found lacking.

[[Actually it arrived yesterday afternoon. Sweet. Twec.com took a little longer than usual but they did come through.]]

 

[ExplodingBoy]

Great now I've got my DC I need some games to go with it. I've dealt with baysoftgames before and their prices on access. can't be beat but I'm looking for someplace similar for preowned games.

 

[winniethegu]

hey, could someone tell me how to get this deal. Or something similar to it.. is it still going? e-mail me please @ winniethegu@hotmail.com.

Thanks, i really want a dreamcast.

Dreamcast is the best bang for buck right now! over 25 games on the internet to download and play on it. HOTD2 rocks with two starfire light blaster guns! WEWP !

[ExplodingBoy]

DC is indeed very cool. First thing I did was check out the internet capabilities. Entering info with the joystick is a pain but in minutes I was connected to my local ISP and surfin the net on the ol' dreamcast. If you haven't yet, surf to the VMU area and download the soulcalibur vmu game ... Voldo's Panic minigame rocks the VMU. ;-)

Does Naki make a DC controller? Who carries it?

 

[LordGorzul]

why dont you tell us where to get the coupon as opposed to posting it when you know it'll be deleted..

 

[Mysterie]

I'm sure some of the places like slickdeals and techbargains carry the coupons, even videogamesavings.com has some but more importantly they have (videogamesavings) reviews on games and such. Hope this is okay to post (got in trouble before, I assumed the coupons were fine to pass around).

BTW to those who have the dreamcast, is it kinda loud, like when the disc spins and stuff? I have a Toshiba DVD player console and a Toshiba DVD-ROM (kinda weird, huh?) and both are pretty loud spinners (I got my DVD-ROM first and found it kinda loud when spinning so when I got the Toshiba DVD player thought same kinda technology same weirdness), but the dreamcast?
