Get a brand-new Sega Dreamcast, 10 years later

Sure, the Playstation 3 and Xbox 360 are great consoles. They have awesome games, killer graphics and robust online networks. But are they the best consoles ever? Gaming superfans would say no. Because they love the Dreamcast.

And while before you had to scour eBay for old, used Dreamcasts to get your Jet Set Radio and Crazy Taxi fixes, ThinkGeek is now offering brand-new, in-box Dreamcasts for a mere $99. This is unbelievable. So whether or not you're a diehard with a crusty old Dreamcast or a fanboy wannabe looking to see what the fuss is about, now's your time to get a brand new Dreamcast for less than a hundy. Oh man.

Good to see - i have a ps3 and it is the lead played console - its really over rated - i dont have an xbox but i imagine they are simmilar.

I hate the limited controlls and the way you cant customise them i mean you could customise your controls on almost every SAGA mega drive game and you can on some new console games - WTF?

Yeah Dreamcast waking up again to revenge against ps2. you know all believe or not it's trully The Dreamcast is more powerfull machine than PS2. And i Hope Sega will continue again with Dreamcast 2.

Dreamcast was awesome, but isn't in the same league as the PS2 graphically. Get over it.

Just like comic books, unopened consoles will be worth fortunes! (Till they're opened ofcourse...)

The PS2 isn't in the same league as the Dreamcast graphically. If you look at the games that appeared on both systems, it was the Dreamcast that almost always had better graphics. This was down to the fact that it had hardware anti-aliasing to smooth out jaggy edges, double the video RAM for better textures, and a higher resolution of 480p compared to the PS2's native 320x200 display (higher resolutions are interpolated).
