This is my second Dreamcast deal post... :) It's a neat toy, too bad i already have one or I'd buy it!

You can go directly here, the deal is for today only... $99.95 for the dreamcast. I'm not sure if one of the $10 off $30 coupons applies on DOTD, but it's worth a shot -- or you could always add $50.05 to the order and try to use one of the $30 off $150 coupons (both available at Hot Deals).

While I'm at it, I should mention that Hydro Thunder is on sale for $20 at Amazon.com. For me anyway, but maybe it's not one of those dynamic price type of things. Goodness that's annoying.

I just saw this deal and came to post it. This is incredible! Even better than the JCpenney deal! For some people that is...

Anyone know where I can get a good memory card or controller? Which brands are good etc?

edit: oops forgot the rebate was no longer valid =P. Still almost as good though.

Does anyone know what you need to do to get the rebate? Don't they need me to send a copy of the receipt or anything?

I just put the $20 off coupon in the checkout and it accepted it. The total was $79.95. I didn't do a total checkout, but it gave me a total of $79.95 and free shipping. Damn thats a good deal. Can anyone confirm an order?

It's a good deal, but I'm surprised that people don't own one of these already. Or maybe two is better than one?

Damn I promised to buy one of these for my brother, but I'm kinda short on $$$ at the moment. Only if this deal came out in a month or so :(

Buy two and use the $30 off $150 coupon then sell one of them for a profit to bring down your cost on the one for yourself. Free shipping on this deal too!

I don't know if Buy.com will accept the coupon without reaching a $100 minimum first...I put a $1 sticker book in just to be safe. Unfortunately, it also added $4.20 to the shipping cost.

I got charged shipping of $4.20 when I tried to bump the price over $100 with an .89 bookmark. Anyone know why? If you aren't over $100 the $20 off coupon won't work. I ended up buying two with the $30 off coupon and free shipping. I'll sell one on fleabay for a $30-40 profit and my cost for the one DC will be around $50. :)

With only 200 of them at this price the market shouldn't be too flooded unless all 200 are sold to people on these forums and we buy them all before everyone else wakes up this morning. I think most people will buy one and keep it.

Yes, it's very good. Unreal Tournament, Quake 3 and Half-Life are all coming out for the DC in the near future as well. They are also going to have a mouse available for those games for those that want to play with a mouse. If you have a big TV screen it's a lot of fun.

Thanks Sigmatic for this great deal. And thanks, 403Forbidden for the suggestion. I'm glad I stayed up so late. This is definitely the BEST DEAL I have seen on Anand since the begining of this summer :)

i don't need any more cd-r's, so i just put in a $5 cd-cleaning kit.

it's $98 after tax, $5 shipping, and $20 off code.
