Inky Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 http://www.lan-kwei.com/dcE/ I know this may be old news but man does this thing look sweet! although I am not in the market for a new dc if I was this is what I'd get. on a side note, notice those satun style controllers! that's something I do want. anyone know where to get em. if so please let me know.
Shibathedog Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 yeah i ive seen this, they are very hard to get though because Sega was pressing lawsuits, also if you DO find one, they tend to be expensive
Inky Posted February 11, 2004 Author Posted February 11, 2004 yeah there are a few on ebay going for $300+ I've been searching for those pads, can't find em anywhere. if anyone sees em let me know.
Shibathedog Posted February 11, 2004 Posted February 11, 2004 they had something LIKE it at my gamestop, if you want ill go take a pic
Inky Posted February 12, 2004 Author Posted February 12, 2004 nah but thanks for the offer, the gamestop in my town sux all the dc stuff has disappeared. I know it wasn't all sold cuz they always looked at me funny when I was buying stuff. I'm looking around the.net now though maybe I'll gust find a saturn pad and a converter
Inky Posted February 12, 2004 Author Posted February 12, 2004 haha found em! and a bunch of other cool stuff like the psx ascii fighting pads at a site shibathedog linked to in the PSX forum. www.gamechoice.com.hkI could go broke looking at this stuff.
Cominus Posted February 12, 2004 Posted February 12, 2004 game stop said that they were trying to get rib of all dc stuff, they dont even take in accesories any more, like game pads and stuff. Damn those bastards
Shibathedog Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 damn those bastards to hell!!! WHY would you still carry PSX stuff when its even OLDER than the DC? asked the guy that works there and he said that it was because it was too old, which raises the above question, also, he said the larger stores will still carry it all (theres a big one by me that even has Atari games)
Cominus Posted February 13, 2004 Posted February 13, 2004 I guess because dc died out quickly and there was no "next gen" system to keep it running like the ps2 being compatable with ps1 products... bastards, but Electronics butique still kind of supports DC
Jitx Posted February 14, 2004 Posted February 14, 2004 I work at gamestop, and yeah we got rid of all our DC stuff, but we do still take games and complete systems in. As for the reason, its prolly because the only thing that sold was complete systems. Never sold any games or anything else, so we just got rid of em. PSX we still take because A.) they still sell and B.) they are backwards compatible with the PS2, hence the reason why A exists
ForceX Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 My brother brought me one for my birthday, during his trip to Thailand....He brought one for himself as well..... Its awesome
Shibathedog Posted February 17, 2004 Posted February 17, 2004 its all because of those damn Playstation Generation gamers with their soul-less games.....WHO CARES about the graphics or your crappy new need for speed underground, you are NOT a badass for playing a game where you act as a badass.....stupid people....dont even get me started on the XBox biased people...graphic whores... YOU NEED GAMING SOUL DAMNIT!!!!! it pisses me off, i had one of those people at my house once, they see me playing METAL SLUG 3!! and they say, without even playing it, Ha that game sucks, look at its crappy graphics...it was so hard to not strangle the kid.....
DanManXZ Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 YOU NEED GAMING SOUL DAMNIT!!!!! it pisses me off, i had one of those people at my house once, they see me playing METAL SLUG 3!! and they say, without even playing it, Ha that game sucks, look at its crappy graphics...it was so hard to not strangle the kid.....I feel the same way when somebody disses StreetFighter2 or Castlevania
Shibathedog Posted February 18, 2004 Posted February 18, 2004 they drive me crazy, especially with their 8 page long, flaw-and-contradict-athons about how much 3D is better than 2D
Rileq Posted February 25, 2004 Posted February 25, 2004 I work at Gamestop as well, and the reason for us getting rid of all the 1st/2nd gen game and systems is because they don't generate the kind of revenue that warrants how much space they take up in our stores. As far as Dreamcast is concerned, it's mostly because of the fact that 99% of the games we get traded in are scratched up. And if you ever followed the tecnical aspects of the DC, pretty much any minor scratches render the DC games useless, due to the GD-ROM format (smaller wrtie spacing with less error correction), compared to the PSX which adheres to the redbook standards for error correction and format. I've seen some PSX games that I thought could just not possibly work (totally scratched up), and surprise!, they did. Refurbishing the DC discs does not help, either. No worries, I spent YEARS collecting virtually EVERY SINGLE DC game online from the first day the DC began to have a "scene". So I'm content. =)
