Woohoo, my lifelong ambition of owning a Dreamcast (not) has been fulfilled today, since I bought one.
True story:
Went into town today with absolutely no intention of buying a Dreamcast. While looking in Game, I saw they had pre-owned Dreamcasts for £30.
Anyway, being the cheap person that I am, I asked the guy if I could have it for £20. After a lengthy wait (the guy went out the back, probably to ring somebody :D), the guy said that was okay. so, using the £25 I had in my wallet, I bought the Dreamcast and a VMU. Problem was, the VMU was actually £7, so the guy knocked off £2 from the Dreamcast to cater for my monetary problems.
So I got a Dreamcast for £18.
Then, I went to CEX and bought some DC games - Sonic Adventure £5, Chu Chu Rocket £1, Shenmue £12 and Skies of Arcadia £20 (heck, I really wanted it). Funny thing is, I just took more money out my bank account. I could have paid £30 for the Dreamcast, but I liked the 'I'm a poor cheap person' act and got the DC cheaper :).
Woohoo! I'm looking forward to a looong night of Shenmue. What a game :D.

I got a Dreamcast too.... I purchased it 2 years and 10 months ago.
You have Skies Of Arcadia? Look out for Grix coming round your house and licking the windows.

In "friends" yes they do while hugging at the same time but i'm not sure that this topic is worth it lol. Just kidding the Dreamcast is ok in my books but I know nothing about it so I can only judge on the fact that it wasn't a sensational hit and is being sold for £18 each lol ;D Reply if it's any good I would seriously like to hear what some one has to say about it :D
