Free Dreamcasts, anyone?

[Cousin Vinnie]

If you live near an EB, (Electronic's Boutique) they are giving away free Dreamcasts with a purchase of 3 Dreamcast games of $4.99 and more. I was skeptical at first, b/c I figured most games were 15-20 bucks still, but I left with a new DC and 5 games (Sega Bass Fishing, Shenmue, Crazy Taxi, Space Channel 5, and Toy Commander) for 27 bucks. Pretty sweet! Check it out, peeps.

New or used? What about the games?

[SS]

I really don't need another system cluttering up my already over stuffed shelf. Still, darned tempting. Darned tempting indeed!

[moycon]

Thanks for the heads up...I'll check it out tomorrow.

I already have a back-up DC, But another wont hurt!

Hey Trip, it's all used, but still, that's a damn good bargain.

 

My Dreamcast makes ALOT of noise. I mean ALOT. Is this normal? Or is there a reason they were giving these away?

Yes.

 

I thought mine was broken when I turned it on.

Talked ot some people, found out they all do it, got on with life.

Yeah, that still is a good deal.. I might pick one up as a backup.. And yes, mine makes TONS of noise.. I guess that means its working..

[Cousin Vinnie]

What are some good games to look out for, Trip? (or anyone else)

If my store's doing this, I may go for it. I never see any useful games. But hey, the least you can always eBay the extra DC and get at LEAST your money back you spent on the games.

I went to two ebgames today and neither of them had this deal. They did have a buy 3 N64 games get a free N64, but I already have a N64.

Hey man, it's in GMR mag as a deal they support! You need to buy a GMR with Grand Theft Auto: SA on the cover and look at the second page. They have to support it! It's in the freakin' mag.

They probably just didn't have any DC's. My local one dosn't and if they did I would get one. They have MOUNDS of PS1's, but that dosn't help me out here.

Good to know that I sould be getting the latest GMR in my mailbox soon though.

You're 100% correct, CV! My son read about it in Gamer (he's a subscriber, I'm not) and went to EB and could either buy a used DC for $15 or get one for free if he bought 3 games priced at $4.99 or higher.

It's in there, I just looked. My issue came in the mail Saturday.

[Adonick]

Could anyone pick one up for me? Perhaps with Shenmue and a couple other games?

 

I would be much ingratiated.

My local eb said that promo ended on July 31, does anyone know if that is true or what?

[Adonick]

I'd be very grateful if someone could score a DC with Shenmue or M vs Capcom.

They still have this deal going on, but I think you have to have the coupon in the current GMR magazine now. Otherwise, the promo this month is $9.99 for a preowned Dreamcast system.
