Dreamcasts Sold New at $99 Quickly Sell Out

God i loved hat system.. as the article stated..

Sega was always ahead of it's time. That was it's major downfall being ahead of the curve.

$99 too much, too late, too old.

On further investigation, there was another here with Sonic Adventure included.

Apparently I have a difficult time typing.

[citation]While many Dreamcasts are still available on eBay – many for less than $99 – they likely won’t come with that ‘new Sega console smell.’[/citation]
Ah the smell of great hardware mix with eventual failure

IT sucks that sony ran SEGA out of the console market. I loved my genesis.

I remember when I used to have a huge selection of game systems to choose from. Now there are 3. Pretty boring if you ask me.

With no more Atari, no more SEGA, no more Panasonic, No turbografix, it's pretty lame.

can you still burn games and play them without any mods? I remember that being a huge problem for the DreamCast.

Sorry Sony didn't run Sega out, Sega ran Sega out. Their controller was
a nightmare and their limited games sank them just like Nintendo Game
Cube. I would love to see Sega come back in the next round of consoles, if
they do they better have a gem for a controller and a big slew of games ready
at launch.

dreamcast was amazing

I had every Sega console from the Master System to the Dreamcast and I loved every console. I couldn't believe they were exiting the console market when I first heard it. I hope someday to decide to give it one more shot.

I still own my launch unit. Great console.

I keep almost every electronic thing I buy. I still have a NES, SNES, N64, Dreamcast, Sega Genesis, PS1, Xbox, Xbox 360, and a Wii. I also have an old school Pentium II processor. My how far things have come. That processor is literally a brick and that was probably 8 years ago.

Sega screwed up by pissing off all the third parties. They released the 32X for the genesis months before releasing the Saturn; which would have been a very nice add-on...had they released it a couple years earlier.
Then the Saturn was a failure because it was difficult to program for due to it's configuration: dual SH2 33Mhz processors. The system was rather weak anyways; even with 2 procs, the PS was still more powerful.
By the time the Dreamcast was released, they lost most of their thrid party support, thus dooming the DC.

I just rebought a DC on Craigslist for $20. Sure the guy looked like he was going to murder me, but I'm still here.

Dreamcast had some awesome games:

Jet Grind Radio
Seaman
Skies of Arcadia
Vitura Tennis
F355 Challenge
Grandia II

I do miss SEGA consoles. I know this might start something, but Sonic could kick Mario's ass anyday!

Still have my dreamcast, my ex bought it for me, the system is great, everyone i ever had play it fell in love with it.

Time for Genesis 2.0

Intel 80-core CPU
8GB's of DRR3
500GB fusion IO SSD
Radeon 5890x2 GPU

Price $2599

Minus DVD support, the Dreamcast was superior to the PS2.

NFL2k was the bomb! I thought it looked much better than anything offered on the PS2. I might pick up a dream cast if I can find one here in Japan. I know a store that sells used games, maybe they a have a system around too.

I love the Dreamcast. Years later, games like Soul Calibur really stand the test of time, both in design and in looks. The gameplay, sound, and visuals are all stunning.

There are many theories of Sega's console demise, from hackers having found a backdoor, to the timing of the PS2's release, to Sega's relationships with developers, etc. It's irrelevant. That was about a decade ago. If Sega were to revitalize their franchises and build new relationships with developers, and maybe pocket a few developers to put some more talent in-house, they could make a run at another console. But that involves a lot of what-ifs and a lot of brilliant moves. It's something I believe Sega is capable of, but either won't do properly or won't even bother at all.

I still have one brand new in box, only taken out once to make sure that it works with CD-Rs and it does. I bought it for $49.99 + tax at a local toys r us after the price reduction. I own 3 dreamcast systems, all are working and the first one I bought was $149.99 at toys r us with sega.net $50 mail in rebate. I sent in one form and they sent me two $50 checks ($100 total) so my first one cost $149.99 plus tax minus the $100. Pretty good deals. I have every game ever released too.

Ah, I miss the Dreamcast era. I still have mine, but really I hardly have time to play PC games lately, much less hunt down hard to find DC games. I don't even remember the last time I messed with the homebrew kit.

Dreamcast, bah.......bring back the Sega Saturn or at least make a Windows compatible emulator that actually works!

The Dreamcast was ahead of it's time and it initial sold well when it came out but when the PS2 came out it was simply overwhelmed by Sony's PR machine and it was soon forgotten in the western markets.

I still own mine along with a bunch of GD-ROMs! Every once in a while I'll hook it up 2 my projector for some good Dreamcasting @ 480p through VGA box. VGA box! I remember how awesome it was the first time I played DOA and Shenmue. Ah, memories....

Saturn sucks, what game would I play on it? Dreamcast has Virtua On, I think that was one of the Saturn's flagship titles. You can get twin sticks or use saturn twin sticks, better graphics on dreamcast... only thing dreamcast lacked was nights but you can get that on Wii now. Dreamcast was a great console, but eventually PS2 caught up and surpassed it. I wish Dreamcast had a 3dfx chip in it, everyone knew at the time that PowerVR was inferior. I think sega just wanted to keep most of it Japan designed.

i would give my left nut for one of these.
