Sean, we'll have them at the OKGE (hopefully) if your going(it looks like you might be in the area), the price is going to be around $300. If you need a reference try www.toytokyo.com, or www.brianstoys.com, we're also on ebay as wyatt88. We've been in the business for a few years now, and we pride ourselves on being reliable. Thanks for the interest and let me know if you need anything else man...

Damn! For $300 you don't even get the carrying case?

yeah, you get the case to (its just not in the pic). you get everything that comes with it when you buy one in HK.

Your eBay add says that the case is not included. It also says that you only include 1 controller, but I thought 2 were included in the package. eBay more likely than not will shut down your auction. If you want to try to sell this before it is shut down, I would add a Buy It Now and hope that someone uses it.

Yeah, sorry about the description, the wrong one was posted. Here is what it definately includes:

- Treamcast Console
- 2 Controllers
- A/C Adapter
- Car Cigarette Lighter Adapter
- Remote Control
- Carrying Case

Sorry about the confusion, the ebay description will be changed shortly. Thanks for bringing that to my attention.!

looks nice but i really dont think there will be many biters for $300. you could build your own for that. not that it would look that nice but you sure could do it.

Yep. There's no telling how poor the quality of these things are either since Sega had nothing to do with them. And once you buy it, you're on your own if it screws up.

No offense to 8bit4life, but I'd hardly pay $100 for one.

I you know the right placesin hong kong I would venture you could get one for $20 us. I had a friend of mine go over this most recent summer and she brought me back a wonderswan color, neo geo color, and some other systems. Total spent (all new system) $15 us.

No offense taken on the price, but trust me, I'm not making to much on these things (considering the shipping costs from HK). I realize the price seems a little steep (especially when you look at what you can get an authorized version of the dreamcast for). They're coming from a reputible supplier, a friend I've delt with on many occasions, and even overseas, you have to pay quite a high price for these.

Well I just checked on Lik-sang and it appears these go from $150 to $200 in Hong Kong. Here is the link with more info about this machine.

I think this guy is providing a reasonable service, and most people won't be making one of these on their own. Since when is making $50 notable? I'd pay $300 for one of those if I had some cash and space to burn. I think it's a great item. Of course, lack of any support on these kinds of HK items makes it more of a museumable than a playable piece.

What kind of support could you need? It's an lcd connected to the ouputs of a dc clone.

I am not trying to insult anyone. I just wanted more information on these and I thought I would share what I found.

There's a 12V car adapter in that picture, too.

But, yeah, I see what you mean. Is there a battery pack on this thing?

Duncan :D

Yea that's what I meant. Just like the PS1 . It wasn't truly portable until they came out with the battery pack. And even then It's one heck of a big portable, and the Treamcast is even bigger. I say a $25.00 Dreamcast and a $50.00 PS1 monitor and some creative rigging and VOILA .
