I've seen new Dreamcast systems at Babbage's for $99. Also, at Sam's Club for ~$130 WITH Crazy Taxi.

Are there any better deals out there?? Thanks!!

Best price was a Sears 2 weeks or so ago -- 1/2 price on Sonic pack. Normally $120.

Right now, best is on a used DC at Babbages/Funcoland. $60 tested. DON'T TAKE THE !@#%#@$ 1 year extended warrenty ($10 add'l)

I'm still trying to get the Linux distro working on it. Anyone else successful yet?

While the dreamcast doesn't have a hard disk to record Linux on or to "swap", it does have enough RAM to support a stripped down kernal, and a CD-ROM drive to handle a Filesystem.

At this time, a CD image has been made available that includes the kernal and some packages including X. This is enough to allow for NFS mounting from a remote server, and keyboard/mouse/display handling for remoted applications.

See http://www.m17n.org/linux-sh/dreamcast for more information. You can find screen shots as an existance proof...

Look at www.boob.co.uk for additional info on the distro...

Pick one up used. I bought one for $149 used that came with 4 controllers, a VMU, 2 lightguns and 10 games. I sold the games and one light gun for a grand total of $127 on ebay. So, I now have a Dreamcast, 4 controllers, a light gun, and a VMU that I paid $22 for.

Right now Target is selling them in the $20 range.

Most of them are gone, but I hear a few stores still have stock.
