Should I buy?

Post by Chickensuit »

I'm a noob to the forum but have been reading after Racketboy for quite a while now.
I grew up on the Nintendo side of the tracks and had little exposure to the Sega world, but thanks to Racketboy and others on the site i thought i might give the dreamcast a go.
anyways, i have been looking around for one and there is this flea market type place that has a DC for sale with 1 controller, the power cord, the video connector and a copy of Jet Grind Radio all for 55.00 plus tax.
Deal or no deal???
What do you guys think?

$55 seems a bit high to me.

I got my Dreamcast with two controllers, all the cords, a VMU and Sonic Adventure for $25, but that was about a year back or so.

I paid $50 for a dreamcast with 4 controllers, 2 vmus, 2 fishing rods, a keyboard, and the agetec arcade stick, and a couple of games. If you look around I'm sure you can find a great deal.

I almost fell for the Dreamcast fan-dom around this site and it's readership. Then I realized that I could get all of the Dreamcast games I wanted for other consoles with the exclusion of a handful of titles. Luckily I played plenty of DC growing up so I feel as though my time is sufficient (for now).

Not sure about the deal mate, Australian games and hardware are so much more expensive. So let us know what price you get it for. I'd be interested.

yeah that's a bit high. i wouldn't pay more than $30 for a dreamcast and even that's a bit steep.
