After realising that I don't want a GameCube, and won't have the money for an X-Box, I would really like a Dreamcast to add to my PS2 and GBA. This is because it has some class games, and some more to come out (Virtua Tennis 2!!)

So far the cheapest I've found is on SR, but I don't have £99.99. Is SR selling the consoles on their own at all??

Anyone know places for a cheap DC??

I thought I heard one the other day, but it was a budgie. And it was going 'cheep' not cheap.

Ah, but not all games from DC are porting to PS2, like the Virtua Tennis series.

Maybe I'll get one. Probably, actually. Not sure when yet though...

It was either a PS2 or Dreamcast for me, The fact that DC games production will stop end of this year was a major factor for me buying the PS2 instead.

I was gonna get a Dreamcast for Shenmue but lack of funds stopped me. wouldn't mind playing that Jet Set Radio game as well.

Is there really a point to getting a DC seeing as a largae amount of thier games are being ported to the PS2 anyway?

But still i agree it has some classics. Shenmue i think is more than enough. Shenmue 2 out soon...

Look in the free ad's or somink.

They want to get rid of all their stock so they sell them cheap. Granted. But what happens when all the DC games have been sold?

Huh huh huh? Ha, caught ya there.

So what you going to do then? Write to sega pleading that they start making games again? Or better still make you own!

Some how, I dont think so. So buy the DC's while you can.

I have had a DC for 10 months now and I got it for £70 second hand. Look in the papers if you want cheap stuff.
