Following in the steps of ThinkGeek, Amazon has apparently managed to track down another forgotten warehouse full of brand new Dreamcasts. The online retailer currently has them up for sale, and is charging $119.99 a piece. Those with good memories may recall that this is $20 more than what ThinkGeek charged, but I guess after their stock sold out in a matter of minutes Amazon realized there was suitable demand to jack up the price a bit. But hey, at least it has free shipping.
I’ve always been one of those people that, for whatever reason, never got their hands on Sega’s last home console, so I took this as a brilliant opportunity to rectify that situation. Yes, by that I mean that I ordered one immediately before letting all of you know about it. I’m not stupid, you know.
The product page can be found over here. You better hurry up if you want one; there’s a good chance they’ll sell out pretty damn fast.

Ya, but you can also get a new Deamcast for that kind of money.
True, but as I like my videogame stuff new, it's not too big a hit to take.
I'm also going to break someone's heart by saying that they're reproducing these Dreamcasts for the launch of the DREAMCAST 2!!
...or maybe not. Unfortunately not.
Grr

Good luck finding any of those though.
As for good games, there are plenty. Lots of colorful, Japanese-style puzzle, fighting, driving and platforming games... if you're into that sort of thing.
It also has other uses, which I won't talk about here.
Power stone
Soul calibur
Air force delta
alien front online
I would be buying it only to have it? Nah. I'm not a console collector.
Playasia.com has a nice list of various Japanese awesomeness.
2 reason alone to own a dreamcast :)
i love my dc it gives me that arcade quality feel of the good old arcade times.
love all the reviews on amazon from nine years ago.
