You're not allowed to make any mention of PS2 here. It makes people... upset.

 

[tran1981]

Great price. How much is shipping?

 

[SinMen]

There is already a thread on this.

 

[Tung]

repost!

 

[DealSpreeDotCom]

Well I see that it was mentioned before, my bad, i just saw that it was within the $99 Dreamcast Deal, but thought it deserved a thread of it's own...

 

[maxcom]

are those Sega Genesis games ? re-ported ?

<--old phart

 

[stonerdave]

Yeah, I'm wondering the same...are these the old Genesis games or do they have improved graphics?

 

[maxcom]

what's the best football game these days ?

 

[TatSteeL]

great deal, but all those games look like the cartrige port into cd then into sega some how. Much like emulator I guess.

 

[Smbu]

This seems like a pretty good deal. Too bad I just bought a PS2, so I have to wait until my next paycheck to get one of these DC smashpacks.

Sega ended months of speculation by confirming that it plans to scrap its Dreamcast video game console and focus on making software for systems made by companies such as Sony and Nintendo.

Sega said it will halt Dreamcast production immediately and slash the U.S. retail price to $100 from $150 to clear out remaining inventory. Sega plans to make games for other video game systems as well as handheld computers made by companies such as Palm.

Shopkeepers can ultimately decide the system's retail price, said Charles Bellfield, a spokesman for the company's U.S. unit. The system should be available throughout the year, he said.

The move ends Sega's costly bid to return to prominence in the game console business. The company, once No. 1 with its Genesis system, is on track to lose money for the fourth year in a row. Now Sega hopes to cash in by taking its library of critically acclaimed games to more popular systems.

The company sold a lower-than-expected 3 million Dreamcast units in the United States in the past 15 months, even though Sony's consoles were largely out of stock on component shortages.

Among the first Sega games to appear for other systems will be racing game &quot;Crazy Taxi,&quot; which will be published for Sony's PlayStation 2 by Acclaim Entertainment in late April.

Sega will publish its first game for PlayStation 2 by the end of August. The company has also agreed to make games for Nintendo's handheld Game Boy Advance and is in talks to publish games for Nintendo's GameCube and Microsoft's Xbox, both of which are scheduled for introduction later this year.

Sega will sell to retailers its remaining inventory of Dreamcast systems by the end of its fiscal year on March 31.

you sure your not trying to lock yourself out?

 

[Castellan]

If anyone wants to buy this, but dosent want the old games, I'd gladly buy them

 

[Boogak]

Nice, I may pick one up. Haven't touched a console system since my old Genesis and SNES 16 bit days. Aahhh.. nostalgia...

 

[ShoNuff]

X-Box, I want the X-Box!!!

 

[dmbsuperfan]

anybody know if this disc could be sold separately....it's all the games onto one CD emulated for the DC. There is no cartridge (at least that's what the folks at FatWallet said)

 

[DealSpreeDotCom]

I searched around for the dreamcast game....but i couldn't find it anywhere...anyone else have any luck..?

 

[Insomniac]

This should answer your questions.

It should come with a light gun IMO. What good is Virtua Cop 2 w/o it?

 

[TritonDrew]

saw alot of these systems w/ the 12 games at Frys today in San Diego. If you want one, they're 119 there. Get Phantasy Star Online while you're at it, great game!

 

[tran1981]

[DealSpreeDotCom]
