I was in Game wondering around looking for some dreamcast bargains and I stumbled across what I would consider my best to date. A preowned Dreamcast console for £14.99. I could not beleive it. They where also selling preowned PS1 for £24.99, criminal. So a bought the thing and a copy of Quake III for £3.99. I gave it to my nephew who had just discovered Gradia II and was spending more time in my house than his own.

He has now vowed to drop his interset in the X-Box till Christmas 2003 as he has my collection of at least 30 DC games to get through.

He has seen the light. He is now pestering me for my Dreamkey 3 disc so that he can play PSO online.

1 Gamer converted just a few million to go.

You can get the Dreamkey 3.0 disk for free at Sega Europe... I use online gaming a lot on my Dreamcast! Its well worth it.

Dreamcast games are going for ridiculous prices now!! Dreamcast is being shunted to the back, and it being forgotten about. Shame!

I saw Sword of the Beserk for 2.99 new the other day in GAME. Okay, it's not a must-have title, but for 2.99 it's a classic!

Cosole Kid, are you using BTclick or another ISP. I have to use BTclick as BTopenworld and Freeserve didn't want to know.

Yeah Freeserve are sad like that. If you have another Isp though put their phone no in and your username/password and it'll connect on that account.

The problem that I am having is that I don't have PC at home and no-one seems to let me open an internet account over the phone. So at the moment I am having to go through BTclick.

I would appreciate it if someone could help me out here.

Just done it again, went To GAME for a wonder as you do and their was at least 50 preowned DC games in the shelves. Just picked up Shenmue II for £6.97 and Unreal Tournament for £2.99. Also used my £2.50 discout voucher

The guy in the shop said that they had all this DC stuff lying in their stores that they hadn't got round to sorting till this morning. Apparently the stuff is going like hot cakes, people buying 5 games at a time.

If you are searching for gaems it might be a good idea just to ask at the counter, you never know they may have stuff just lying around waiting to get bought.

That is one of my success stories.

I eventualy got my hands on a preowned copy of Starlancer form Amazon but had to pay £22. This is just a stunning game and well worth the £22 that I paid but I was informed 2 days after I bought it that it was in EB/Game for £6.99.

Some you win, some you lose but at these prices every DC owner is a WINNER.
