    I was going to say something about why pay more for a brand new one but this is the kind of site where people hoard boxed consoles. heh

    I just like to play mine. :(

    I never understood this non-story. There have been new, sealed USA Dreamcasts on eBay every day since 2002 for $99 and under.

    I see one right now at $79.99, $89.99 BIN w/free shipping.

    There's that many floating around.

    Same here.

    They're ALWAYS on stock.

    Why people points this site, thinkgeek, every year?

    I kind of want a sealed DC in US launch day packaging. I already have a new unit in the later packaging.

    You think there are that many still being stored like that? It seems at a certain point it becomes a waste of space.

    Right, storing space is a precious thing. They would rather throw away brand new systems than store them for years. It all comes down to cost in the end.

    If you're going to have storage racks full for 10 years, it might as well be with Scotch in my opinion.

    That's why old scotch is so pricey ;-)

    Good stuff!
