Product ReviewsSEGA DREAMCAST Console (MK-50000) BRAND NEW!!! NEVER OPENED OR USED!!! RARE!!!

The Dreamcast is still an awful lot of fun

This console has aged great. I output to an HDMI tv through an Akura VGA-HDMI converter, and this beats expectations. This console is from an era when controls really started to make sense, and physics engines got good enough that racing games and flying games became much more fun. For a console that was only truly supported for a few years in North America, this is a bit of a hidden gem. The games library is heavy on arcade ports (Crazy Taxi), with some off-beat racing games (Tokyo Xtreme Racer) and some classic sports games (NFL Blitz, NHL 2K). If you're getting into retro gaming, a Dreamcast can be a lot of fun.Read full review...

The best console ever!

The Sega Dreamcast launched in 1999 and it was the first console to ever have built-in internet. You can still go online with this console today! But you need something called a dream pi. This allows you to use your wifi network and daisy chain the connection to a Sega Dreamcast. They also still make new games for this console. In order to save your progress, you need something called a VMU (Visual Memory Unit) which is a memory card with a little screen on it. This can display images and the logos of the game or even small animations. You have the option to buy genuine copies of games or to burn them on a cd yourself. Just a notice, burning games will reduce the life of the Dreamcast's laser mechanism. This console has tons of great games. I hope you find this review helpful. If it did please give it a thumbs up! Thank you for reading and take care (^_^)Read full review...

Sega Dreamcast is the most underrated console ever!

I absolutely enjoy the Sega Dreamcast! If you’re going for a full collection for U.S games it is partially easy to collect for since only 240+ games were ever released in North America. Many of them are good games like Power Stone, Crazy Taxi, Legacy of Kain, Shenmue, etc. It is such a fun console to play and it was ahead of its time. Even smaller aspects like their memory cards are awesome. You can use the memory cards to play small mini games or it could do other cool things depending on the games. It is my favorite console and I’d give it a 9.8/10.Read full review...

Dreamcast is a tragic end of an era for Sega fans, but it remains an incredible system that should have been more popular and was ahead of its time.

Dreamcast is Sega's swan song. It is a truly tragic story with a heartbreaking end for Sega fans. When Dreamcast was cancelled, I never bought another video game console. Without Sega hardware, I simply was not interested. Sega was always an innovative game developer, pushing the boundaries with their hardware. Although many critics mocked them, the truth is that Sega's consoles were always ahead of their time. Such is the case with Dreamcast. The first console to feature online gaming. Virtual memory cards. Enhanced 128-bit graphics. Dreamcast specialized in action-packed arcade style games. The console should have been successful and put Sega back on top. Sadly, this was not the case. It was discontinued way too quickly. Hence, Dreamcast is a tragic story. We are left to wonder "what could have been?" In its short 2 year lifespan, Dreamcast released a number of incredible games, such as Sonic Adventure, Soul Caliber, Power Stone, House of the Dead, Skies of Arcadia, Phantasy Star Online, Ecco the Dolphin, Crazy Taxi, Samba De Amigo, Space Channel 5, Jet Set Radio, Grandia 2, and Chu-Chu Rocket.Read full review...

An Overlooked Console With Many Overlooked Games

The Dreamcast was very much an over looked console back in the day. Even now the games are great, the controls, while they don't have the second Right Analog of most games, are simple and relatively easy and the memory cards are actually rather innovative and easy to use.
The only downside about it, like a large portion of any tech, is that the CMOS battery of the unit will need to be replaced if you're looking to buy one. Unfortunately, this is not as easy for the Dreamcast, as they C-cell battery inside the console is affixed to the parts that attach it to the board. Luckily, with a little soldering and a quick purchase of a cheap C-Cell battery slot from Amazon (I had bought a pack of 8 for 5 bucks, but there are cheaper), you can fix this really simply.
The biggest worry you'll have for such an old console though is the disc drive. I don't personally know how well the console runs back in the day, but loading from disc can be slow. be patient with it, but know that the longer the load times, the chance that the cd reader is on its way out. Just keep that in mind when you're purchasing an old console.Read full review...

Sega Dreamcast Console

Whether your a Sega fan or not, one thing I realize that this console is under appreciated due to being released during the PS2 and Xbox days. This system had plenty of good games and I loving 2D fighting games I definitely love the Dreamcast for the games it had during its run. From Capcom releasing games such as Capcom VS. SNK, to the Street Fighter Series, or some of the Japanese games that SNK had release the Dreamcast console was perfect with no load times and arcade graphics and sounds. That being said it made it hard to play due to the chunky style controller :( which i wasn't a fan and will never be fan of it. But there are ways of getting around with purchase of adapter to play with other brand controller. Another complaint I have is the loud fan and even the disc when game loading up, but turning up the volume on your TV fixes that issue :) Overall I love this console and own one and enjoy the good games it had come out from Sonic Adventure, Jet Set Radio, Street Fighter games and so on, any video game fan would love owning these classic games.Read full review...

The great console that failed

As sega failed to market their systems correctly, the Dreamcast had a very short life span and dished out a fine small selection of masterpieces and some hidden gems. Graphics and engine for the time were powerful (pre-GameCube era) and out horse powered the PlayStation and N64 on release. The controllers are a bit to getting used to and require a VMU (visual memory unit) to store data which is docked into the top of the controller deck. Games are cheap to pricey depending on rarity and gameplay; games that are arcade style play exactly as their coin operated counter part and are generally cheap, while the large story based games play like top quality games, they usually come at a higher price than others Read full review...

Perfect Dreamcast for new buyers

I bought one of these refurbished Dreamcasts after my old one sadly died. It arrived quickly, and was packaged with an insane amount of care (wrapped in bubble wrap and the box was stuffed with more bubble wrap, air bags, and packing peanuts). It had no signs of damage on the casing, and it was its original white color. Most importantly, it worked just like it was new. How could I tell it was working well? The disc drive was ridiculously loud, like a normal Dreamcast disc drive should be. Admittedly it's a bit pricey compared to buying a normal, unrefurbished Dreamcast, but if you go that route, you risk getting one that might stop working not long after you get it, and it's hard to get one of these repaired because of the unique parts they use. Something to keep in mind when buying one of these is that it only ships with the console itself, you'll need to buy the cables, controllers, and memory cards separately. However, you can find those dirt cheap these days. Best of all, the seller ships out Model 1 Dreamcasts, which means they can play games off of burned CD-Rs, if you have the know-how to make those, so you can save a lot of money on games. All in all, I HIGHLY recommend buying a refurbished Dreamcast from this seller. They obviously know how to take care of this console, and the higher price is for the amount of work they put into restoring these so they work like they were brand new, plus getting them to you in a timely fashion.Read full review...

Superb job of packaging.

Not only were the products in perfect working order and clean, but the packaging was absolutely superb. At first couple of glances while opening, I could have sworn the cables and Dreamcast controllers were brand new. Absolutely excellent care. Thank you!!Read full review...

beautiful sound!

This guitar has a beautiful warm rich tone. I heard it in comparison with the Martin D12-28 and the highly valued Yamaha FG612s and it is so much sweeter and full bodied (it doesn't hurt that it comes with fantastic Clear Tone strings on it). I do miss the normal squared headstock instead of the Seagull narrowing one but that is a very very minor concern (this Seagull does stay in tune longer, which their headstock style is supposed to help facilitate). You can't go wrong with this guitar and for such a great price!Read full review...
