Use the coupon "SAVER" for free shipping.

Good luck trying to get a Dreamcast from these people. I was told mall stores don't carry DC or N64 items but strip mall stores do. However I visited three strip mall EBs and none of them had a system in stock. What rubs my rhubarb the wrong way is that GMR had a two page ad and a coupon for "buy 3 Dreamcast games ($4.99 or higher) and get the system FREE".
Denied.

Don't blame us, man (I work for EB, no hard feelings)
The only ones we sell are the ones traded in to us. Those tend to sell REALLY fast.
Mall stores are higher volume and higher NEW-SELL oriented, and usually don't take N64/DC trade-ins (hence they never have any). Strip stores do more trade-in business so they are more likely to have one in stock.
Personally, ours has no DC's but many many N64s for $7.99 w/coupon.

Where can I get that coupon? I've been wanting to pick up an N64...

Think they were in the latest GMR mag.
Ask the store clerks nice and they might just give it to you anyway (I would)

Coupons that I know of are in the latest issue of GMR..

The free with 3 $4.99 + games ended August 1st. The new one is $7.99, but I don't remember if that's a flat rate or with some trade in hahaha. Haven't worked in two days and those older systems don't come up in conversation much (Yeah, older systems... I know)

Any help would be great....

ARGH!!!
I've been looking for the past few weeks to get a Dreamcast.
I called my local EBGames, and they had two in stock. When I got over there after work, they had none.
Now this deal is gone... I was going to wait till this weekend to get one... and now it looks like it's done. Dang.

I bought two for backups when I posted the deal. I'd be glad to trade them to anyone who missed out.
But, they were in stock Monday & sold out & then re-stocked Tuesday morning. So, keep an eye out & you may be able to snag one this morning.

Ok got the confusion sorted out... hate it when they tell us they're ending a promotion and then renew it.
N64 for $7.99 with GMR coupon
N64/DC for free with purchase of 3 games $4.99 or higher
Both going on through 8/31 still.
And if you call and ask if they have any in stock, usually they'll hold one for you for a couple hours if you ask.

EB restocked the DC, but was kind enough to jack the price up to $14.99.

Given how fast it sold, I don't blame 'em. I would too.

The coupon I have in the GMR ends 8/30/04 for the free with $4.99.
The EB I go to didn't have either system in stock though.

Yeah I corrected myself in a later post. Sorry! :) The original promotion ended 7/31, and we didn't know they were renewing it immediately.

Just finally bought the DC on EBgames. The $9.99 deal IS still available. What you need to do is search for the DC. Once you find it, click the green button to add it to your cart. Don't click on the link for the DC or else the price will change to $14.99. I'm really psyched to get this console! I grabbed a bunch of titles for $3.99 and $4.99 each too.

Just bought one too, but I had to pay the $14.99 + $1.06 for tax. I figured I would buy another since the one I have is acting up.
