I just won a Dreamcast for a little under 40 quid + postage! Fully boxed (great condition) with 13 games! Happy days!

:p
I'll try cleaning it up later, i don't want to use anything too strong in case it damages the plastic.

Congrats on the DC, sounds like a better deal than mine was :)

Well I do hope so bud! Postage is a bit steep (a tenner or so) and some of the games dont come with the instructions (one has a damaged box), but I just want to salvage the nice bits and will sell off the rest on eBay or AV.

Are you more of a collector or is it more about playing the games on the consoles?

I played Starwing on my Snes the other day. I tell you, its still fun today as it was back then... which is ironic...

Goto page 2 and see the long term interest bars, they should've put an entry for decades :D

And blimey check out the price back then... £64.99 :o

The game cases for the DC are well known as being a bit on the weak side, a few of mine are like that i think. I'm a bit of both, i'm getting all the games i like and playing them but also trying to get the boxed ones instead of just the loose carts.
Starwing is an awesome game, it's one of the first ones i got when i first got my Snes. That Super FX chip makes it look like it's playing on something a lot more advanced!!

And that price is shocking! :eek:
 
Any good tips for cleaning up the case on a Dreamcast? Mine has mild yellowing and a few bits of filth on it, but I don't want to destroy it by accident!

iv come to the conclusion that many people on ebay are idiots. this vga box went for £38
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=330537770199

yet for those that know, u can pick up one new for £23. fail.

this on the other hand is far from fail:

just wish i had the cash :(

If that's an official VGA box then the price is pretty good to be honest. Official one are pretty hard to get hold of.
