Used Dreamcast package @ Game Crazy for $24.99! (no modem) national?

[Packy]

I stopped by Game Crazy at the mall today and asked about used dreamcasts. The guy I talked to said they are having a Thanksgiving special on used Dreamcasts! $24.99 is without a modem and includes a controller, video cable and power cable. $29.99 included the modem.

I thought this was a GREAT deal since it was for my bro for X-mas, and he doesn't need the modem anyway

YMMV, as I don't know if this is a national deal, but it sounded like it was valid at all their stores.

I don't usually get to pass on deals, so enjoy!

AAARGH!!

Game Crazy Stores are located next to selected Hollywood Video stores in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon, Texas and Washington, with more opening soon!

I have a DC but for 25 bucks I'll get a backup.

It's a B&M gaming store (Maybe just Northwest?) that sells new and used game consoles and games.

here's their site

hehe, n/m, already posted!

damn....$25 for a used dreamcast? is there any warranty? i've never had a dreamcast, but i know you can download games and watch divx movies on them, which sounds pretty cool.

maybe i should get one

I believe I saw the same deal at Game Stop ($29). I already had a PS2 last XMas and I put off buying an XBox/Gamecube for at least a year by buying my kids a Dreamcast and about 20 games, joysticks, and steering wheel for the same price as an XBox console only. Lotsa good cheap games available for the Dreamcast - Marvel vs Capcom 2, Soul Caliber, good racing games, etc... Still a good system - escpecially for the price.

P.S. Most of these game places sell extended warranties for fairly cheap - like $19 for a year or something like that.

The guy said there was a 90 day defect warranty. So you can't return the unit just cuz you don't like it, but if anything goes wrong in 90 days you can exchange it.

Bump, in case anyone else needs a DC

Now if I could just find Soul Calibur for less than $20 a pop I'd have christmas gifts for everyone!

 

[tigerbait]

I'd jump all over that if I could... Dreamcast is definitely worth $25 just for the emulators you can use with it.

anyone know where there is a large selection of dc games? and for a decent price?

I know it's not really the right forum, but if anyone picks these up and wants a cheap modem, I have about 10 of them from old refurb DCs I'll sell for $5 each plus shipping.

Most of these are probably ex-rental machines from hollywood video (because they don't have a modem). I bought a quantity of them some time ago, they have a plastic "blank" in place of the modem, but the DC is otherwise identical and they were all the most desirable early models which read cdrs and have a heavier duty laser mechanism. Several did turn out bad or really skippy, but GameCrazy did refunds or exchanges on every one of them. Looks like a good deal.

Oh and you can get games just about anywhere. Most used game stores have tons for $5-10 and there are some great games out there.
