you can get other dreamcasts that work, with games and vmu. just look for another. what good is a dreamcast if you cant play it.

not so long ago i got a dc with 3 games, 2 memory cards and a controller for $35

ebgames sells vmu's for a buck a piece. games range between $5- $15 grandia II is an exception of $20. i also saw this 7 disc game for $29.

Dreamcasts sell at EB games on a depending scale but about $19 old and $69 for new.

Yeah dawg don't buy it. If you did you would be scammed, it is a waste of cash unless the guy has his recipt then you can send it out, but thats a hassel.

Hey Chaomaster.. you have some valid points there but Remember all of the Dreamcasts in the world will eventually stop working so my advice is tto buy it. Because One day all Dreamcasts will have to be repaired or thrown out in the trash!!! Repair is prefferable.. 8) So think that by buying and repairing this you're saving a dreamcast!!
It would seem to need a new motor this machine though...
