A decade after launch and there are still Dreamcasts sold BNIB

The Dreamcast was Sega’s swansong in the video game industry. Sure, Sega’s evolved and is now spreading its gaming goodness to Sony, Microsoft, and yes, even Nintendo, but it’s just not the same.
Hardcore gamers will argue that a little piece of Sega soul went away with the Dreamcast, which in many ways was a system ahead of its time. I could spend many more words reminiscing about the modern classic games that called the Dreamcast home, or how the hardware architecture was more smartly designed than the PlayStation 2, but that’s the not the point of this piece.
The point is (finally getting to it) that ThinkGeek managed to find a stash of completely new-in-box Sega Dreamcasts and put them up for sale on its website for $99.
We don’t know how many ThinkGeek were able to stock, but demand was high enough that the e-tailer now reports a sell out: “Hey folks, sorry if you missed out on getting one of these retro gaming gems. If we can find another stash of new Dreamcasts, we will.”
While many Dreamcasts are still available on eBay – many for less than $99 – they likely won’t come with that ‘new Sega console smell.’
Sega was always ahead of it's time. That was it's major downfall being ahead of the curve.
Except the 8 that I found here all seem to be sealed, new in box, and even tout a 90 day warranty, at $84.99 with $14.95 s/h.
Ah the smell of great hardware mix with eventual failure
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.
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.
Well that's pretty cool! I guess the $99 Dreamcast sale lives on.
I bought a DC early on and it still works perfectly. When the console was discontinued though, I picked up a second one for $70 -- a black Sega Sports edition
I agree, I remember the console, but I can't remember even 5 exclusive good games that really push me to buy the white system...
Let's see... Shenmue mmmmmm.... That's it XD
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.
