Thanks for the list....but there was some things that I found to be outdated.
Amazon will not allow you to order the official Dreamcast Fishing Controller.
The Dreamcast fishing controller listed for EBgames is no longer backordered.
Crazy Taxi is only 9.99 at KB instead of the 17.99 listed.
Crazy Taxi 2 is only 9.99 as well. (Not listed, but a good deal nonetheless)

Keep up the good work.

WildCatKid - keep checking. Some will show up locally.

eToys.com has Crazy Taxi 2 in stock for $9.99, $14.78 shipped.

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.

My local Game Stop had a 'Nyko' (I believe) S-Video cable for $2.99. I was very surprised. But I had to take the first one back, the right audio was bad. I got another one, and it's fine. Maybe they have them for that price on the web as well.

Otherwise, I was going to buy a $19.99 one from Best Buy. It had the 'AV Multi-Out' for a PS2, N64, and Dreamcast on one unit, all funneled into a single cable. It was neat, but I took it back once I got a working $2.99 one.

Good Luck!

I saw Vanishing Point, Dave Mirra BMX and Star Wars: Demolition for $9.99 at Circuit City this week.

I also saw Max Steel and Mortal Kombat Gold for $9.99 at Best Buy along with the others that reptile590 mentioned.

Kingstowne Walmart in Alexandria, VA has several copies of Qbert for $9.99.

The Best Buy in Springfield Mall, VA has several copies of Toy Commander, Championship Surfer, Razor Scooter, Test Drive V Rally and demolition racer for $9.99. Tons of Virtua Tennis copies too.

The Funcoland in Springfield Mall was :thmbsdwn: Saw Soul Calibur for $32.99. It also has a decent used selection but their prices are steep for most stuff $14.99 and up for used! They had used DC keyboards $7, fishing controller $19, refurb/used DC console $49 and new DC console for $59. Didn't see any MC driving gear. They also had Nyko RF, video cables for $2.99

Grimm1 12-13-01 02:08 PM

Sorry spankyj...you are of course correct. To me it looked like a typo. I should have checked before saying anything.

Best Buy had Test Drive 6 and Test Drive La Mans for only $9.99 each when I was there yesterday. Be careful though as IGN rates TD 6 as a 3.4 but TD La Mans they give a 9.4 and if they have TD V that would be a good deal rated at 9.

Thanks for the heads-up. Looks like they don't have it on their site, but there is a Babbage's near me (and apparently, they're related).

cornflakeguy 12-14-01 11:51 PM

An interesting price...

Best Buy has "Jo Jo's Bizarre Adventure" for $4.99.

Yep, $4.99. Can't complain there.

Pato1 12-17-01 08:47 PM

I've found that Compusa B&M have their Dreamcast Nyko accessories priced at $0.99. Picked up 2 Nyko thunderpacks for $2. Saw some Nyko RF modulators for .99 too

naitram 12-18-01 03:28 AM

Anyone know where to get that stupid Midway Arcade Classics 2 with Spy Hunter and such on it? They had like 30 of them at Best Buy a month or so ago - so I blew off buying one - then the next week they were all gone! And there isn't even a space for them now. Were they banned? ;)

sniper308 12-18-01 03:20 PM

yep, just picked up JoJo's Bizarre adventure for $4.99 myself at Best Buy (hoping to get a DC for Christmas), and Unreal Tournament ($7.99 after price matching my bestbuy.com order that didn't go through ... long story posted under the store forum)

hoping these games return the $13 investment well. :johnwoo:

spankyj 12-19-01 08:55 AM

Naitram -

Keep checking back at your local Best Buy. They were at mine about a month ago too, I thought about it but decided not to buy. Then by the time I wanted it, all signs of the game and the game were gone! However, I went in to my local BB this week, and their shelves were stocked full of games for the Dreamcast, Midway's #2 included. I didn't pick one up(they had like 10 copies), but I think that I will get one today. :)

Moral of the story - keep checking, it will show up more than likely. You could also try a used video game store in your area. I don't imagine this is a game that everyone keeps for a long time, so I'm sure you might be able to get a used copy even cheaper. Enjoy!

cornflakeguy 12-19-01 10:22 PM

Yeah concerning the Best Buy 'magic restocking'.

Every thursday I go to some Best Buys around me and see one or two titles that just explode in numbers. Like 20 to 30. Last week it was JoJo's Bizzare Adventure and 4X4 Wheeler (or something like that).

I wonder what it will be tomorrow!! :)

JCPenney.com has a couple deals that can be combined with coupons:

$15 off 75 use code SAVE4
Free shipping use code WELNS
Free shipping use code WELEM11

Sega Controller $9.99 ($10 plus change shipped with code)
NFL 2K2 $19.99 normally $40 in most places
Sonic Adventure 2 $26.99
NCAA Football 2K2 $26.99
VMU $12.99
Chu-Chu Rocket $12.99

The rest of the games seem pretty normally priced... VMU and Chu-chu aren't the cheapest I know... NFL 2K2 is an awesome price...

ClarkKentKY 12-21-01 01:42 PM

Bestbuy.com has sonic adventure for 9.99. make it for in store pickup and you avoid shipping costs.

Thanks.

Picked up 2 more controllers. $10 is my Buy It Now price, apparently. I haven't been able to find new Sega controllers for less than $15 (until now).

Charcoal color controllers are $9.99 at EBgames.come as well, except you pay a couple bucks to ship them. However, only the charcoal ones are on sale for some reason, and not the other colors.

Pillowhead 12-22-01 01:09 PM

Wherehouse Music is trying to get of all their video games. I saw several different system's games on sale for 9.99.

For Dreamcast Lovers I saw the following

ALL 9.99
Quake III Arena (Picked it up)
Rainbow Six (picked it up)
TrickStyle (Picked it up)
Silent Scope
Soul Fighter
Zombie's Revenge
Typing of the Dead
Blue Stinger


Several More. Be sure to check these stores out, I know I've looked a lot of places and the pickings are getting slim. It was nice to get Quake III though, reg price is about $40 still on that one.

Check Mediaplay for Sonic Adventure. Mine had them stickered at 9.99, rang up at 19.99 at the register, but the cashier changed it (and she completely crushed the case trying to get the security thing off - anyone know where to get replacement cases?)

I used the WELNS code for the free shipping and it accepted it online when I paid for it (no error codes). But I then received a confusing email that said:

SF676-2125A Sega Dreamcast® NFL $19.99 1 $19.99
Discount Type: Does not Qualify for Special Promotion

SF676-0159A Sega® Dreamcast Cont $9.99 1 $9.99 Discount Type: Does not Qualify for Special Promotion
SubTotal: $29.98
Shipping & Handling: $0.00
Tax: $1.35
Total: $31.33

The total amount of your order is not available at this time. You will receive an email invoice in a few days that will contain detailed totals. There will also be a printed invoice with your merchandise.

I wonder if JCPenny.com is going to gouge me on shipping? How did you folks fare? thanks

ClarkKentKY 12-24-01 05:50 PM

weird. Glad i skipped it. let me know how it turns out.

spankyj 12-26-01 08:29 PM

Pato1...You might want to check out your local Bestbuy. Apparently, some of the 2kwhatevers are going on sale. I returned my NFL2k1 that was bought 2 weeks ago to pricematch the present CC sale of it for only 6.99. When the cust. rep was ringing it all, it showed the regular price of NFL 2k1 as 9.99. The sign in the store still shows 19.99. So, I picked up a copy of NCAA2k2 and asked for a price check. The rack showed it as 39.99, but it rang up at 19.99. At that price, a real steal for me! Online it has the 2k1's at 9.99 also, so that is the everywhere price. NCAA isn't available online, so you'll have to go to the store. I forgot to check the other 2k2's(too many people) at the store, the website only lists MLB2k2 as reduced(to 19.99) .

Hope these deals help. Very solid price on the NCAA imho, will try and get a store price on the tennis 2k2. Happy hunting!

Pato1 12-28-01 03:44 PM

I received my JCPenny.com order for DC NFL 2k2 & controller. No shipping charges appeared on the shipping invoice despite the ambiguous confirmation email that mentioned DC games/accessories did not qualify for the special promo codes. So the codes do work for the DC games.

I am making it a habit of checking Best Buy now as their stock is in a very fluid state. Sometimes they have tons of games, sometimes they are cleaned out.

jhiter24 12-29-01 12:36 AM

Sega fishing controller?
 
Does anyone know where to get a new fishing real pretty cheap now? Amazon is always out now.

sniper308 12-30-01 08:44 PM

Check out Circuit City ad ... several DC games listed for $8.99 including Sonic Adventure, Sega Marine Fishing and some of the sports games ... :johnwoo: ... the CC I went to did not have a lot, but good for PM'ing. I PM'd Sonic at Best Buy & hit the magic combination of things to get the $5 survey credit
