1. Are VMUs the DC equivelent of Memory Cards? How much do they cost? Do they eat batterys?
2. Would it be possible to pick up a DC for about £60?
3. How much do DC pads cost?
4. Are there any other extras you must have?
Thankyou come again.

VMs don't run down quickly unless you're stupid like me. I left mine on and then I couldn't find it. I found it 4 days later which meant it had been on for 192 hours so as you can guess it ran out of batteries. Damn. It doesn't really matter though as I never used it for minigames and it still functions as a memory card when it is plugged into a pad.

Yes they are, they hold 1mb of space, but you can play games on them too which is great! You can get them for £19.99 in some places, but for less at others.

Not literally. But the battery life is 3months, unless you use the VMU a lot - i.e. when it's out of the Pad.

Most definitely.
3. How much do DC pads cost?
Official SRP is £9.99 as at Sega's homepage.

I don't often use the Dreamcast keyboard, and the mouse didn't stay for very long, but I'd recommend the fishing rod.
Thankyou come again.
Must I?
