Thanks for the info. I went to Toys R Us and they rang up w/ Friday's prices. I got one regular DC and a sports package. I'm not into the sports majorly but for 20 more bucks, three games, its such a deal and my roomates at school will dig this. I don't plan on getting an Xbox or GC at least for a while, but I feel like I just bought a system that launched...except there are hundreds off great titles and they are dirt cheap! Awesome!

Hey just thought I might inform you all. I went to Bust Buy this morning and they had tons of games on sale until Monday. I picked up Unreal Tornament for 8.99. They also have the news sports titles for 29.99. If this is a repeat post, I'm sorry I didn't read they all, but wanted to tell you.

UPDATE
Thread has been updated.
In instances of Sears, Target, CompUSA, and others that are clearancing out games...I will note that you should check your local store for availability. And I know, that many stores are doing this, but if you visit a CompUSA or Target or Sears you have to admit that the pickins are very slim.
I don't mean to sound ungreatful, but PLEASE delete your posts. I will create a new thread if we can't keep this confined to one page....and yes I know that the first post is very long and takes up a siginificant amount of the first page.
Thank you for your understanding and support!!

They had the Dreamcast console at Best Buy for $50. This also included a game. Is the system going away? How are the games compared to PS2, XBOX, and GameCube?

Dreamcast sports bundle is available @ Amazon right now for 69.99. You have to search for it though, browsing doesn't work.

I'm an idiot.
Well I went on an uninformed spree, and bought:
Unreal Tournament
Test Drive 6
Sega GT
Slave Zero
Midways Greatest Hits, 2
All were 9.99 ea. at Best Buy, albeit 2 different ones.
And in my opinion....they all SUCK! Oh my gosh!
ONLY Midways GH 2 has any value. And thats just because of Gaunlet.
I think I was mesmerized by Jet Grind Radio and Crazy Taxi, so I just melded the graphics in those games with the titles of the above games. Well, brotha, that don't work. Slave Zero is the biggest bust! I would have expected better (and have seen better) on the dang PsOne for goodness sakes.
Be careful with what you buy!!

UPDATE
All of the previous posts have been updated.
Just a few notes.....
As you all know, the selection of games at your local discounts stores are growing smaller and smaller as the days go on. Target and Sears in particular are a crap-shoot at this point. Sears is blowing out their inventory and so is Target and they will not be adding any new titles or ordering existing titles. The same goes for Walmart and other discount stores. This doesn't mean there aren't any deals out there, but they will most likely be in the electronic stores like Best Buy, Circuit City, and Electronics Boutique. Not to mention the online stores too. My only concern is not to get into a constant hassle of adding and deleting titles and changing prices all the time because one person finds shenmue at their target for $19 and another finds it for $9. This sames me alot of time.
Also, thanks to those who are deleting their posts to keep the thread short. I will most likely be creating a new thread if this one spills over to a 3rd page. I like to keep things trim, and I also acknowledge that the first post is quite long and takes up a good chunk of the first page. I think I've typed enough....Until next time.

Anyone know where I might be able to pick up an S-video cable for cheap? None to be had at my local Walmart, Costco, or Best Buy.
An online store would be fine, too. Seems that they go for $6 to $6.50 including shipping on ebay, so I'm just trying to beat that.
Thanks.

I went to pick up a dreamcast tonight and ran smack into a brick wall. I can't find any. Anywhere. I pretty much told my little brother I was going to get him one and now they appear to have vanished. I would appreciate all the help you guys can muster. Thanks.
