At my EB in Irvine, CA, they are selling used DC's for 10 dollars. I believe there are a few left. I picked one up when it was 15 dollars.

Ikaruga was the last known shooter for the DC. Great game I might add.

There's another "2D shooter" newer than Ikaruga called Border-Down.
If you like Ikaruga, you'll like Border-down.

Also, every time a DC thread starts up, I just gotta mention a few awesome games:

My current top 3 games (defined as sitting out, next to my dc... not zipped up in a wallet)
Test Drive LeMans -- totally realistic race game *must have!
NBA Hoopz -- absolutely unrealistic in every sense, repetative sayings by announcers, but a blast *any2k2 sports is better
Red Dog Superior Firepower -- most under-rated game of all time *must have!

umm... I wouldn't call Seaman a game. He's more of a friend -- although I think I've pissed him off,
because he doesn't talk to me as much.

anybody know where good deals are on controllers and memory cards. Outfitting this rig is gonna cost more than the system, hehe. =p

 

[rockman1117]

Um, my local gamestop is(was?) doing a promotion on DC accessories. It was 30% off new or used. B&M and YMWV but it maybe worth it to get 3 controllers (new, can you believe that?) and a 2 VMUs(used) for 25 bucks.

I just sold my Dreamcast w/ Matcatz FF steering wheel, 4 controllers, and 20 games for $100 on EBay a couple of weeks ago. I can't believe suckers would trade them in to EBGames instead of selling them. EB only wanted to give me $10 for mine WITH all the accessories, then $1/game.

Due to overwhelming, they are re-releasing the Dreamcast in Japan.

I bet you it will outsell the Xbox - who can't even sell 500 consoles in a month over there.

No Japanese support = one dead console.

Good thing Gates has deep pockets.

SEGA!

What? Got a link?

dang it. blocked from work.
the motor's almost dead on mine. I wonder what condition these are in.

 

[Kipper]

They're preowned, so presumably in functional condition...don't expect new, though.

I got a defective one a couple months ago, and returned it for one they "just got in". The one I ended up with was clean as new, and runs whisper quiet... with absolutely no sign of wear. No dust on the fan, no crumbs in the button holes, nothing!
It's definately worth examining the thing before purchase.
I really think a lot of people got a dreamcast for christmas two years ago when they were on sale everywhere for 50 and under -- only to go unused because new games were too expensive, if you could even find them.
Then all those kiddies cried because it wasn't an xbox, so mommy and daddy went and got an xbox and tossed the dreamcast into the closet. Now xbox games are so expensive, those kiddies have to sacrafice their unused dreamcasts just to get one used xbox game -- so they do!
All the better for me.

I was looking at the DC for a couple of weeks now and it's 19.99 with an additional 30% off all DC games, console, and accesories. YMMV of course

Those of you who chose EBSaver shipping, how long did it take you to get your dreamcast once it was shipped? They didn't give a tracking number or anything.
