Where to get a Dreamcast System?
I don't want to get it by ebay and I don't want a used one.
Anyine know any site that stills sells them? How about Japan do they have them still? I could buy an import.

Lik sang might have it, otherwise it probably won't hurt to go used. I see them in used game and music stores all the time, so you'd have the pick of the litter.

This site has brand new ones in stock. However, be prepared to pay top dollar.

Considering that Sega stopped making the DC some time ago, if you do somehow find a new system, you're going to pay quite a bit of money for it.
Even though you said that you don't want a used one, I would still suggest looking into buying a used system. Most game stores still carry them and you can get them for pretty cheap (and by cheap, I mean somewhere around $20, which is far less than you'll pay for a new one).

99 bucks for a dreamcast? Like others have said just buy used, my nephew treats his like crap and its still going strong so I assume your odds are pretty good of getting a perfectly good system.

I picked up a used one from EB a year or two back and added the extended warranty on it just to be safe and have had no problems thus far. But even if it does break down, I'll just grab another one for ~$20 or so.

No. The system was only around for three years, so there wouldn't be much of a point in issuing a second model of the system when they were having trouble selling the current model.

You can get a refurbished one with the Sega Smash Pack Disc for $69.99 here:

Refurbished is better than used but as good as new.

Thanks, I've been looking for a place that sells these. Now to actually think about dropping the funds for this.

When I apply the codes it tells me that I haven't met the requirements. Do you what they were?
