Cheapest place to get Dreamcast games?

Post by Stormbringer »

Any one know a good (aka cheap and reliable) place to get Dreamcast games? I'm going to get one and I wonder what the best place is to get games. Specifically Soul-Calibur.

I would try Game Stop or Babbage's. The ones in my area have a ton of DC games....

I have no idea where you live. But if you live in the UK the Gamestation Chain is good and reliable for second hand Dreamcast games

Funcoland.com sells them for cheap. Here'sthe link. Anywhere from $10-20.

EDIT: Then again, Soul Caliber's going for $27; maybe not as cheap as I thought...

The problem is my home town only has one and it doesn't have any thing good for the Dreamcast. Just the crappy games that no one wants.

Thanks. Still cheaper than any place I've found it. Since it's still a popular game I don't expect to get it for dirt cheap.

hell, Marvel vs. Capcom2 is still going for $35-$40 used. if nothing else...i always turn to eBay, but you'd prolly be better off calling all of your local used game shops in your area. if you want i can check at the ones we have here for ya.

Where I live (Preston, UK) our local Gamestation does an Dreamcast, three games, two pads and two VMU's (all second-hand) for £30. A great bargain.

My friend got one with Unreal Tournament, Quake III and Soul Calibur. The Dreamcast is still the mummy (XBOX being the daddy).

HEY. there ya go man. if you want a PAL version of the dreamcast. you'll just have to go on UK sites or look for PAL games on eBay. £30 works out to roughly $50. for a working system, 3 games, 2 controllers, and 2 vmu's.....WOW. that is a great bargain.

Yea, but they're the games you wouldn't want even if they did carry 'em. Like... uh... Yea. Those.

That's been the case for most of the games I've found in stores. Just have to get them online.
