!RESURRECTED! BIG LIST - Stuff for that new Dreamcast

[Salvador]

I went and looked at Madcatz controllers the other day. They seemed to have every color but the beige for a new controller, but they did have one used beige one. The beige is such a better looking controller than the rest of them. Why did they eve bother with colors? I was going to buy the used one, but it's all boogered up even after being cleaned and repackaged. What do people do to their controllers to get them so dirty?

I guess the quest is on for a new beige Madcatz controller or a clean used one.

my god, this thread is still alive
time for you guys to buy a new console

 

[oLLie]

I'm so sad that I sold my Dreamcast...
Does anyone live near a Target that has one for $25? Please?

I hate to even mention this since the chances are *beyond* slim, but the Dreamcast System will ring up at Wal*Mart as $29.96 if you happen to find one there.

Don't hate me, but I found one just sitting on a shelf at a Wal*Mart last week. That was definately a fluke. So I sold mine to someone so that yet another person could take part in the Dreamcast Experience. (I have course had to keep this brand new one.)

So don't run out to your local Wal*Mart because I'm sure they're all gone. I guess I am just posting this to note the price in case someone wants to know. I suppose it's better to find it at Target since it's ~$25 there.

My experience with 3rd party DDR (soft) mats is that they're all going to be relatively the same. That is, they'll be nice and good for a while if you treat them carefully, some will eventually die or become larthargic and non-responsive, and others will remain working (ie. the pads will respond 80% of the time or so). All soft mats I've seen follow this general trend. If you require 100% accuracy, you won't be happy with them, because soft mats will always "miss" some steps that you have blatently stepped on. It's just how they are. As for sliding... i use duct tape to hold them down, kinda messy though.

I've seen foam pads before, but have never tried them myself. Never seen the level-six mod before-can't tell you how that'll work out.

Hey where r u people buying your games now? I went to Willobrook Mall in NJ in 10 diff games/music stores and there were no really HOT prices like $5 games...most decent games are still ~$20+ And where can i find a good deal on a light gun?

 

[IshmaelLeaver]

DC game prices in stores have crept back up a bit, and the selection is almost nothing right now. You're probably best off gettin them on eBay.

Anyone ever done a comparison of the Interact light gun and the Madcatz one?

(I have the Madcatz one, and it works great, but I CANNOT get it to be accurate in Confidential Mission).

 

[dionx]

i just picked up "space channel 5" for $10 at toys r us. good deal.

<< I have the Madcatz one, and it works great, but I CANNOT get it to be accurate in Confidential Mission. >>



Don't worry - I've heard complaints from many users about the calibration tool in that game is poor. I have the Interact gun and I don't believe the aim is accurate either.

I`m glad this thread got bumped back to the top just to read this that was too funny
Good luck in finding anything DC related in target stores isn`t everything gone by now .I guess its hit and miss but my Target was out of everything months ago.

limited resolution however...if you wanna check it out "here"

Is there anybody that wants to make an even swap? I've got an extra sealed NBA 2K2 that I would love to swap for a sealed NFL 2K2.

[Salvador]

Never mind.. I found a NFL 2K2 this evening at Target for 9.94. All I need now is Sonic 2 and I will feel complete.

BTW... How long does it usually take for Target to put the returns back on the shelf? I had to return a couple of games that I paid $27 for on clearance. Because it was clearance, they will not allow you to rebuy it on the spot or price adjust. The best I can hope for is hitting the store where I returned them and find them on the shelf and rebuy them at the cheaper price.

Oh.. Almost forgot. I found 2 Mad Catz Dream Pads in beige/gray this evening. They were regular price at $12.99, but if they are all that you guys say they are... I'm going to give one a try and if I like it better than the Sega controller, I'll probably sell one of my Sega backup controllers.


Anyway..

Can anyone here get a new Dreamcast? If so, I would really like to set something up with you, and I will gladly pay you a finders fee for picking one up for me. You can email me at paul21@charter.net and we'll get something started!

Does the WIZ have a clearance on DC games? i saw alot of them there, but they are all like $20+ except for like virtua tennis for $10.

OMFG!!!!! Last Decmeber, Buy.com had a two pack of WIRELESS DC Contollers with built in rumble packs on clearence for $16.24 shipped. They were on back order from day one, but I ordered a set anyway (expecting never to get them). Well, 2 1/2 months later, I get an email from Buy.com:

Just wanted to let you know that the following items from your
order #12052961 have shipped and are on the way to your door:

item sku 50009451 qty :1 DC WIRELESS W/RMBL 2
*This item shipped on 2/26/2002

I have a HUGE list of "backup" DC Games. If anyone is interested in trading, adding to my collection, or just receiving, give me a PM. I can make CDI's for most of them and send (broadband connection only please). If this is illegal in this forum, someone let me know so I can edit it appropriately. Otherwise, here is my complete list of backup games:

Sorry, I was told this was not allowed in the forums

 

[Fritzo]

Dude...that type of stuff isn't welcome here. Better edit your post.

Patients pays off!

Dr. Fritzo, I presume?

By the way, I found 3 more NBA 2k2s and 1 Tennis 2K2 at Target today. This was at a Target that didn't have them before. maybe they were returns that took a while to make it back to the shelf.
