I got mine already a couple days ago. It's brand new, everything inside seems to be still sealed, though the box was kinda beat up though. Good deal if you guys are still looking for Dreamcasts..
This seems to be a good deal for anyone still looking then, since everyone is getting theirs fairly fast and with no problems.
Hooray for a console that costs as much as a game

Got mine today in "like new condition" Basically it's like getting something open box. Everything was included:the cables, web browser CD, demo disc, controller, instructions all in perfect condition. Mine was made in July 1999, downloaded a couple games and works great
Basically it's like getting something open box. Everything was included:the cables, web browser CD, demo disc, controller, instructions all in perfect condition. Mine was made in July 1999, downloaded a couple games and works greatoops, hit the enter buttton.. excuse the above post. Well, I just ordered from "Two Girls Trading" and hope that I have the same luck as the others and receive a good unit that plays cdr backups. I will post my results when it arrives. "Merry Christmas" To All!!!
ofcourse, one should always make sure that it's a pre-October release by looking at the manufacturing date on the back of box(slot cut out to show that and the serial number)
Well, my dreamcast of less than 6 months died. I bought it from Kaybee toys online. I went ahead and ordered one of these from 2 girls. I hope it is better than my last one. I've never had any game system go bad on me until this one. I had expected it to last at least 4 or 5 years. I just gave 2 new dreamcasts away yeasterday for Christmas presents. Go figure. Unbelievable timing.
Anyone try to order one with an old date from them? If that's possible I'm definitely interested...

>>send it in for warranty.
That Oct 2000 and backups thing is NOT a hard-and-fast rule. I have
a Dec 2000 unit that will play backups just fine.

I don't want to take that chance at this point. On the other hand, I could order a few, test them out, and sell the rest on ebay... mwahahahaha LOL not sure if such a plan will go over well with the family.
Anyone else try requesting a date? I sent an e-mail asking but not sure what the reply will be...
Just got a new Dreamcast at the Mankato, MN Best Buy today.
I was calling around trying to find a used one at FuncoLand and didn't have any luck, so I figured what the heck, and I called Best Buy. I figured if any had it, it would be Mankato since they're not in the Twin Cities and it's not a very big city. I called and the person said no but he'd check the computer for other locations. It showed that they were getting receiving one on the truck today. They were unloading it at the moment, so he went back and checked the log for the truck and it was on there and he told me to call back at noon and he'd have one and hold it.
I drove down there (it's an hour away, so not bad) and it was there.
I'm actually impressed, the graphics were better than I thought they'd be.
I'm posting this because if they just got one, the distribution center must have had a physical inventory or something done and found extras and shipped them out. Maybe other locations will have them too.

I just called them, some reason after a certain post on newsboard they had 75 orders in one day. The lady on the phone told me that they are recieving another 40 next week. She said she doesn' t know the date, and also to call back for the next shipment. It seems twogirlstrading.com is legit. Very friendly on the phone and no wait time. I placed an order on Dec 28, so I should be recieving mine soon, let you guys know if it can play my friends backup games.

I snagged the sports bundle on Amazon last week...... I was kinda skeptical because it said only one left. So I tried to order it and Voila!!! You might want to lurk at the amazon page since they seem to still come in and out of stock.... I sold off the 3 sports games for 30.00 and so my final for the dreamcast was $34.99 !!!!
Could someone please explain the pre-October thing to me? I'm a touch confused. What do you mean only the old models can read backups? What the heck are backups? I realize this is probably a newbie question to ask but, well, I am a newbie when it comes to consoles.
I just ordered a preowned Dreamcast from EBGames for :
$59.99 - 15% Coupon for Preowned items($9) + $4.99 Shipping(2 Day Air) = $56 Shipped
Dreamcast for $56 Shipped
They have plenty of cheap titles too, I ordered the Dreamcast, 11 Games, and a Tremor pack for ~$142 shipped overnight.
Don't forget the 15% off for pre-owned games and overnight shipping is about $9.

I ordered a dreamcast from 2girls on Dec. 26 and I still haven't received it. I got an email on Dec. 27th stating that my dreamcast would be shipped within 3 business days. I called them but I haven't gotten anything but answering machine during their business hours. I left a message today but no return call as of yet. I emailed them tonight and will reply here if I hear anything of importance. Right now I don't know what to think. I read the post earlier about them waiting on a shipment next week but dreamcasts are not easy to find especially in lots of 40 or 50. You can still go to their website and load one in your cart. I also saw the 50 pallet option there as well but I didn't try putting it in my cart. I hope this all works out.

Yeah. Looks like the publicity overwhelmed them. I'm glad I didn't order over the holidays.
P.S. That must be a pretty big "cart" if you can load a pallate

I just got a reply from 2 girls and they said shipping was slow over the holidays and that they were closed over the holidays. They also said my dreamcast shipped today.
Okay, here is my update: I placed my order on Dec 28, 2001. They told me twice that is it shipped out. I requested once thru e-mail for politely for tracking number no response. I sent them an e-mail on 1/04, 1/11, 14, etc....I waited a week, and then I sent this letter out to them.
This is the second letter requesting a tracking number for supposely shipped
DreamCast. If I do not recieve the package by this Friday, Jan 19, 2002. I
will definetly file a complaint with Paypal and my credit card company. I
can understand that you guys have been back logged, but I placed my ordered
on the Dec 28, 2001, I think I've been patient enough. Or just credit
paypal account back what twogirlstrading charged me of $55.00.
and this is their response to me
You know what, I will refund you the $55.00 because I cannot be bothered by threats. My grandfather died last week and I was away all week so email me the PayPal request invoice and I will do that tomorrow
I responded with this letter back.
I'm apologize if you were "threaten" and I had no idea that your grandfather
had died. But please see it from the customer side, ordered a product on Dec
28, 2001, been promoise of shipment two Fridays ago by previous e-mails. Two
of your e-mails, you stated it was shipped out. So what is the customer
suppose to think, I check the web site, and it says you guys are back logged.
I called you guys once, and some nice lady stated to me it would be shipped
out, I accepetd it. A week later, no tracking number etc...if you take it as
threat then that is not good business practices..there was no mention on the
web site about death in family and all orders are on hold, etc..I'm doing
what any consumer would of done, I held my breath and waited, and thought I
was patient.
"If I do not recieve the package by this Friday, Jan 19, 2002. Iwill

waited almost 3 weeks. I'm requesting a refund because you guys are back
logged, once again, I'm sorry about the death in family. I'm sorry this
transaction went bad, I was hoping I could recommend you guys.
I felt bad if this is true,
but from the post it seems they are just back logged. Cause why would would they give me a refund if they shipped it out already?
I guess I was too impatient, i wish everybody luck in getting their dreamcasts from them.

This sounds more like one dude and his sister selling crap outta their garage than an actual retail web site.
"My grandfather died?" MY grandfather died over this Christmas holiday, and the funeral was 200 miles away, but I STILL managed to go to work, get my shopping done, and finish all of my business before going to the funeral.
If he's in charge of a business, it's his JOB to get the stuff shipped out when times get tough! That is a lame excuse for a businessman. And I guarantee that the funeral didn't last for 3 whole weeks.
I can sympathize with your situation. I ordered the Dreamcast from Buy-Rite video games. In a word, they SUCK!!!! I got a confirmation email with an order number, but no tracking number, no notice that it had ever shipped out, and no notice that they had even finished processing my order. Their customer service number is a joke. It's a giant automated menu that doesn't have any people attached to it at all. If you press "0", it doesn't take you to customer service, it boots you to the main menu. Not only that, but according to their site, you CANNOT cancel an order for ANY reason. Once it's in their computer, according to them, it's too late.
Well, I thought that was a lot of BS. So, I tried calling them, but I couldn't even get to an answering machine. Eventually I found a contact page where I could write them a letter. I told them I wanted to cancel the order.
I haven't heard back from them since. I ordered on Dec. 26. It is now January 15. My credit card statement has yet to come. I'm gonna be megapissed if it has a Buy-Rite charge on it.
