The Dreamcast is the greatest bargain in the history of videogaming- there's no contest! You can get the system for about $35, the games are dirt cheap, and there are a lot of damn good games out for it!
Heck, where else can you play the video maracas???
Even since I got my PS2, my Dreamcast still gets plenty of play. (Although not quite as much as Red Faction. ) The driving and tennis games are especially good.
I hope those prices are universal. The selection varies from store to store, to say nothing of state to state. I've seen Toy Commander and Sega Marine Fishing for $5.50 locally.
Seeing that Anna Kournikova isn't even a hidden character on Tennis 2K2, I think I'll hold on to Virtua Tennis.
James, she is not in the game, unfortunately.
I've also seen pod Speedzone for $10 at Sears. Is it worth it? I enjoy the futuristic racing games like S.F. Rush 2049, but I'm leaning away from pod only because it's limited to two players.
Actually, go to Circuit City... they havn't acutally repriced many of their games, but their computers show a significant price drop. I got ten DC games for about $60 or so... have to dig out the reciept to check. This was about two weeks ago or so. Only the "newest" games were more that $20. I got Unreal Tornament for about $15 or so.. and Chu-Chu Rocket for about $6 or so. This was during a 10% off sale as well, so YMMV.
Do any stores still have Dreamcast systems? I've been looking for one for a while, but haven't seen any. Seems like they all got bought over Thanksgiving weekend when the prices dropped.
The local Target had several copies of the recently released NBA 2K2 for under $20 in their stack of clearance items in addition to Tennis 2K2 for under $15.
I went to Amazon but they don't have any in stock. You can view the product and it says it will ship in 1 -2 days but you can not put it in your shopping cart. I got happy for a little while, especially since I have a gift certificate but no luck. Oh well someday I'll find a used one for cheap. Someday.......
