stocking stuffers for 2 of my friends and 1 for me...

also, toysrus might take these games and give you store credit ($49.99) for each one.

So i could basically get two ps2 games for $20.. (not that ps2 games are better than dreamcast games, but i want sim theme park, and a racing wheel)

This is an amazing deal. I debated whether to get Seaman but for $9.95 it's too good to beat.

To those of you who are on the fence about getting a Dreamcast, here are some things to consider:

1. The quality is Very Good. I was not impressed by PS2. The type of system is important but the quality of the games is more important. DC has some very good games (Soul Calibur, Crazy Taxi, Samba Di Amigo, Sonic, House of the Dead, Rayman 2, etc.)

2. The DC is dirt cheap compared to the PS2. So what if the PS2 has DVD capability? Most of you probably already have a DVD player.

3. Those of you interested in WebTV (ick) should look at Dreamcast. The web browsing/email capabilities aren't bad. It even plays MP3s. I had no trouble getting the Dreamcast to work with my regular ISP, and I understand the SegaNet service is very good too.

When I called Sega, the csr said the 2K Sports Pack was $169.95 and
included only NFL2K and NBA2K, NOT NHL2K. In addition, she stated
that ign.com (who posted this info 12/12) had received wrong info.
Anyone else run into this?

Anyways still pretty good deal. Picked up myself a couple copies of seaman.
And shipping was only $5 UPS Ground.

Got some copies of Seaman for me too, cool deal. Shipping only $5, should be here before Christmas. If they have anymore I'll order more copies tomorrow, sell well on e-bay.

Must call in to get Seaman, webpage shows it as $49.95. Also make sure you verify the price before accepting the order. When I first placed it they quoted me retail price.

Sweet deal! 3 Seaman for $35!

One note: They only take Visa/MC.. No Amex.. a little disappointing, but not a dealkiller for me!

I think all of the deals are now available at sega.com. Go to the store section on their site. Just got Seaman for $15 shipped.

I can't find these deals in the store-just a different Sports Pack ($169, 2 games, no VMU).

Man, what an ugly site for such a major manufacturer. It's embarassing.

...and you wonder why SEGA is the least profitable company in Japan. I only bought my DC for Phantasy Star Online, but at $10 I could give Seaman a try.

I bought the Dreamcast sportspack from EBworld using the MS deal and it came to $142.00 shipped. I got it in two days. I also bought a VGA adapter which allows you to use a computer monitor. The graphics are just as good as an arcade. Totally awesome. We hooked the system up at work to an overhead projector (which has a VGA hookup) it was very impressive. Anyway, the Dreamcast is a good deal. Excellent graphics and lots of inexpensive good games!

Does anyone know where to get the mod chip for DC that lets you play PSX games(not ps2) back on the DC? I kept hearing about it before sega made the price cuts but now its so cheap i want one just to put a chip in it. Damn they are taking the amd approach against sony.

So what are the good Dreamcast games? I had not been very impressed with what I've seen. Can someone suggest some good ones, besides the sports games and that fish?

i have nothing against Sega, I don't like Sony either, but look at the hype behind PS2... Does the average consumer even remember the DC?

I would get it myself if it wasn't for the terribly designed controller
