Sega Dreamcast for 96$

[Freaky]

The sege dreamcast machines are for 96$ + tax on Bj's. try out

 

[DongTran]

I bought one at Kbkids for $99 + tax + shipping. Mine came out to $106 delivered to San Diego, CA. Get $10 off coupon at techb@rgains for new customers, or use the Amex one (I actually used the amex code with a discover card, don't ask me how).

BB has it for $99

 

[Freaky]

[7lords]

Outpost.com has the Dreamcast for $99, but with free shipping and no tax (outside IL, I think), esp to California, it's cheaper than any other, net.

Add a 5% discount by using ebates and it's hard to find a better deal.

I think they're out of stock right now, but it's next-day air shipping.

I'm sure most of you know this already. But on the off-chance somebody doesn't. (Not that this should sway your purchasing decisions...)

Sega has stopped production of the Dreamcast units...it is expected that units will be easily obtainable throughout the end of 2001...

outpost sounds like the place to pick one up then, i've noticed that at many local stores, all the dreamcast games are being marked down quickly, liquidation? just wondering if anyone had any thoughts on this

 

[Pardus]

gabegarwick, yep..dreamcast is dead..

ps2 and xbox are the new toys to be had.

 

[moocat]

Dead? With over 300 games available and graphics that easily compete with PS2 I think DC has alot of life left...especially considering the dropping prices of accessories. The games available are also argueably better than whats out there for PS2. Just my $.02.

i just think it'll be cool to run NetBSD on them and hook up that ethernet adapter

 

[moocat]

Phule...does that mean I can use the DC to access the web via 8port switch with an uplink to my cable modem?? Is that possible? Where do I find NetBSD? Is that on the web software disk that comes with it?

I didn't get a manual with the used DC I purchased so I'm kinda in the dark.

Run a search on google or slasdot on NetBSD and/or DreamCast.

one link from slashdot:
http://slashdot.org/articles/01/01/06/142233.shtml

NetBSD is from the BSD family (FreeBSD, OpenBSD, NetBSD). It's a server-grade OS. the goal of netbsd is to run on as many different hardware configs as possible. maybe even your microwave oven

http://www.netbsd.org is the official site of NetBSD. they should have some info as well.

 

[pdiddy]

when are they going to stop production of games

 

[Easygoing]

FYI, Frys had the standard Dreamcast for $99 and so does Circuit City.

They will stop making games after May 2002 (or if people stop buying games
altogether, they will stop before then).
Up until then you can look forward to around 100 titles coming out this year.
Daytona 2 is coming out soon and you can waste lots of time right now playing
Phantasy Star Online.
You can hook up your DC to your network using the "broadband adapter"
exclusive at the Sega.com webstore. It's really just an expensive
10Mbps ethernet adapter but you can't get it anywhere else except there (unless you wanna pay over $100 at Eb@y).
Surfing with the DC on broadband is actually a pretty pleasant experience.
I've read some guys are using it to play mp3's from a local server.
I still say the DC is the best gaming system out right now up until around
Christmas this year. The PoS2 great games are non-existent right now (SSX
gets boring after a few days and Madden is same ol' w/ no online play)
and the upcoming ones people are looking forward to keep getting pushed back.
I'm sure they'll be out in droves by the time the Xbox launches.
There are LOTS of great clearanced titles and peripherals at your local Target B&M. Great system to own. When the hobbyist libraries are released by Sega this year, I think this system will last a bit longer. Then you got emulators for the Snes/Genesis/Gameboy/NeoGeo to play with ...
Me, I'm still looking for another pair of Sega maraccas for Samba de Amigo .
