In the states the dreamcast price has dropped to the value of £45, dreamcast's are £100 here with 4 games so if it drops even more just think a console for the price of one game, not to mention the cheap back catalogue!!

I regret selling mine but i sold it for more that £45 so i may just pick up another haha.

I might buy another one if I can get a new one for £50. Stock up on DCs like I do on controllers.

No, probably not - SR, like all successful companies, must make a profit for each sale, so they'll probably knock a fwe pounds off the already steep deduction to £50 in the UK - or, they might take advantage of the situation, pretending that UK gamers aren't in the know, gradually reducing the console by, say £10 increments before stopping at £45-£50.

Since Special Reserve are a discount network. Do you think we will see the system for about....30-£35?
If that is so, the games would need to be dropped to around £15-£20 brand new.
I can just see it now....Shenmue 2 for £20 with 5 discs.
Wow!

Read from Digitiser, no doubt. Bear in mind that Sega Europe are "considering a price cut to £50", and over in the States they are bundling Sonic with the DC for $99. Around £55. Remember that UK suppliers are more greedy, as they have to supply to a smaller audience.
