Getting a Dreamcast = blasphomy?

Buddy, you seriously think buying a DC is a waste of 100 bucks? I think 100 bucks for a DC is deal, even if there aren\'t many new games coming out for it, the existing library is incredible!

Yeah, but it\'s 100 bucks to start + more for games.  I personally almost bought one just for PSO, since the Phantasy Star series is my favorite all time series, but I figured I\'d save my money and just live with FFX and FFXI when they come out.

Yes, but the games are cheaper than most PS2 games, and in many cases they\'re better. Right now, I think the DC\'s library beats the PS2\'s library - and I know that\'s only because the DC\'s been out for much longer - but still if you love videogames, denying yourself one of the best consoles available just because of \'loyalty\' to Sony is lunacy.  

I play my friend\'s DC every weekend and I love the existing library of titles, especially since I\'m primarily a sports gamer right now the DC offers much more quality sports titles than the PS2 (espcially driving games) - I\'ll be picking up a DC for myself very soon.

Just my opinion, I still like my PS2 (ATV, SSX and MLS ExtraTime).

BUY IT! DC rocks, and I can\'t emphasize its value too much. It\'s worth every penny and more.

I\'m getting it, but I hope I\'m not considered an outcast for going to DC for awhile...

Except for a couple of morons, no one here would consider you an outcast for buying a DC.

but the purchase is not good in the long run... in my opinion

Why is it not good in the long run? Most games are still available, w/ a year left for its future. Are the games gonna be less enjoyable when the DC\'s life ends?

I could get a DC, but I see no need, I don\'t need to go backwards.

Would you care to explain how getting a DC is going "backwards"?

Spend the money and get one, ASAP. You won\'t regret it.

I\'m selling my DC actually, I\'m hopping off the Sega bandwagon and getting a PS2.

I\'ll probably be putting it on eBay for stupidly cheap, because I just don\'t want it anymore.  Ferrari 355 is such a f*cking hard game I shouldn\'t have bought it.
Other games I have that will most likely be getting sold with it:
Omikron, Vigilate8: 2nd offense, Dead or Alive 2, Soul Calibur(mmmm great game), NFL 2k1, NBA 2K1, Toyko Extreme Racer 2, Quake3, and Unreal Tournament.
Two controllers, two memory cards too.
If anyone is interested, email me @ darkenedfalls@hotmail.com and say what price you\'d be willing to pay, just so I can see if it\'s worth selling that way or not.

ahahahaha:D i find that funny...
he wants to sell his dreamcast even after reading all of these pro dreamcast responces....
i just find it funny, thats all
hahahahahahahahaha

Not getting a dreamcast = stupid.

It is a great system who had a short life.

Hey Angelis, how much do you want for it??? I\'m selling off my Sega Genesis + Sega CD + Sega 32x + 5 games + lightgun + all the extras for 100 bucks tomorrow. Once I sell my sword I\'ll have about 50 extra bucks to buy a game (or two) with. Name a price and I\'ll see if I can match it. Right now, I\'m going for the 75 dollar DC + 1 VMU + 1 controller at the pawn shop, and picking up a PSO and Shenmue (or MSR.. whichever is in stock).

So how much would you want for the DC, one controller, 1 VMU, and two games? (Soul Calibur and Q3)

Hehehe damn right I want to sell it in a place where everyone likes it, I\'m dumb but not stupid.  =)

How about the console, two controllers, two memory cards (what am I going to do if I only have one controller and a memory card) and the two games you wanted (Q3 and Soul Calibur) for $110USD?

It is a great system, and none of my cds are scratched.  But I just bought a PS2 since my last post and I know it\'s not going to die off.  There\'s still great games coming out for Dreamcast in this last year though.
Half Life, Soldier of Fortune, Crazi Taxi 2, System Shock 2, Spider Man and more.  Plus all the cool games it already has.

dreamcast isnt a person, it wouldnt be who, it would be that

Hell yeah, I\'ll take you up on that deal. I\'m not sure how to go about it, but as soon as I have the cash in my hand I\'ll let you know. It shouldn\'t take more than a week tops. If you haven\'t sold it by then, tell me and I\'ll go get a money order for the 110 dollars. The rest of the cash should cover all the S&H.

Anybody know what I\'d need to know before doing this? Cost of a good shipping company, insurance, and all that?

Ok, email me at darkenedfalls@hotmail.com and I\'ll give you my info.
You just need to get a US money order and send it to me.  Then I\'ll cash it and pay the shipping and insurance on the parcel and mail it on out.

Sorry man, I don\'t work that way. I\'m willing to pay all the shipping/handeling/insurance as long as I have a way of knowing that I\'ll get the Dreamcast for my payment and that it\'ll be in good shape. Not that I don\'t trust you, but a 110 bucks is too much to go sending off across the ocean without a guantee. I\'m sure you\'d feel the same way.

Isn\'t there a site or service where we can both sign a "contract" of sorts, and where they won\'t deliver the moneyorder until they have the shipment.. and won\'t pick up the shipment until they have the moneyorder? I\'ll look around on the net a bit and see if I can dig anything up at the usual parcel-delivery buisnesses. (Fed-Ex, UPS, Priority Mail... ect)

We could use eBay and have you win the auction.  Just bid like $1000, and nobody will top it.  Then we\'re bound to a legal contract saying that we\'ll complete the transaction.  You mail the money order with whatever shipping/insurance money.  (Insurance is like $25CDN) As soon as I get that, I\'ll mail the dreamcast using Insured UPS.  If in two weeks you don\'t get a dreamcast, then cancel the money order and you can sue me since we both agreed to eBay\'s terms.
