that's a bloody good price.
went down to the shops earlier, one could argue making a rod for my back.
i put the supervisor onto this subject, and while he saw it's validity, he couldn't up the prices inline with the hype, they just wouldn't sell here. (if 20 gbp is the average public shopfront price for a dreamcast with hookups where i'm at, the internet price is still fair comparatively speaking, and it's delivered to you door as it was a web like order.)
Wow if you still have store fronts that sell them at like 2005 prices, you're lucky. By me, stupid GS buys everyone out for no reason, you don't know how lucky you are, to not have Gamestops where you live(GS doesn't even really sell retro game stuff, so it makes no sense), and the only retro game store around here now, price gouges the hell out of people(a few years back, I wanted to buy a Genesis+SCD model 2, which was only worth 60-80 tops back then, yet they wanted 120 for them, talk about a rip-off).
Why a storefront would actually think selling them for double the price of what you can find them for all the time on the internet, is a good idea, I have no idea.
Sega CD 2 WITHOUT cables has been 60+ dollars since 2007, so I don't know where you're coming off with that price. Add in the minimum 30 for the Genesis, tax it up and you're looking at 100 right there. Both consoles complete will EASILY be 150+ back then, so you REALLY need to re-assess your prices.
Your Sega hate in this thread too is absolutely absurd and your claims are completely incorrect: Sonic is still very much alive in all parts of the world and Yakuza is constantly hyped up by outlets. Furthermore, there are still SMS games made in Brazil FFS, Sega is completely far from "dead."
You sound like a blowhard 100% and butthurt on top of that. Is Sega the giant they were in 1993? Of course not, but they're far from a "dead," company.
