DC Games going Cheap?

Firefox

There seem to be some good Dreamcast Deals going now that Retailers try to Flog the Machines.

I was in Game at the weekend in Limerick and got Quake 3 Arena for £35 (£10 off)and I am now addicted to it!

They also were selling a Dreamcast and 5 games for £199 which isn't bad.

The reason they are flogging them cheap is because DC is no more (stopped making them). Even Sega are selling the DC cheap to get rid of thier remaining stock.

Um. No. God, you get some great conclusions jumped to. Sega (and a lot of retailers) have so much stock of the DC and so many games in production (in Segas case) that it would be utterly stupid to start flogging it cheaply just to "clear stock".

There are whisperings about the DC falling to a £99 price point in the UK, mind, but those whisperings were about before the announcement as well. It'd be interesting to see the DC duke it out on a similar price point to the PSOne...

£99? Cool, any idea of how soon this would be happening? If they drop that low i'll probaly pick myself up a a DC, couldn't really resist at that price

I read somewhere that there are 2m DC's still in stock and no more being made.
Hardly alot like ?
I'm tempted to go out and buy one so I have a console after my lc
Also, over a hundred new games still to come out for the DC.

Shinji, I'll posted the news story of them dropping the price to clear stock. I can rummage around to find the DC news story of Sega claiming they weren't stopping making DC's, followed by them shutting down production of the DC.

Warehouse space doesn't come free you know. Just because they stopped producing them doesn't mean the costs go away.

I guess this option was better then hari-kari.

Ive read that sega may start making games for PS2.. That'd be nice .
