That bundle is a little pricey, but the two games are some what saught after.
I got my copy of Powerstone 2 for about $1 :D

So it's nearly been a year and I really like the Dreamcast! I sorta of feel like I paid a bit too much (150 for the DC, box, power stone 1 + 2 and 2 controllers with vmus all in very very good condition apart from the box which was in good condition) do you guys think it was way too much or just a bit pricey?

I know it doesn't matter since it was a year ago but I'm still curious :lol:

I say it was a bit pricey. But considering you got your console CIB and it good condition to boot is getting your monies worth if you ask me. Power stone 1 has slowly gone up in value over the past year and powerstone stone 2 commands a pretty penny. Out here in my area for the mom n pop video game shops, its the second most expensive DC game! (BangiaO being the first).

Considering how prices have gone up, i don't think you overpaid for what you got in the condition that it was in.

Makes me a bit sad though cause i remember a few years back getting a brand new still sealed dreamcast from ebay for $80 shipped, memory cards were $1 and there were loads of new sealed games for $5. :(

Actually though that was about 5-6 year ago now that i think about it. Has it really been that long ? I hate getting old.

I have a question about the Japanese version of seman, does it have an English option? The jap version is a lot easier to find but if it doesn't i can just get the disc and microphone separately so I can play in English.

It might be fun trying to fool around with a Japanese speaking seaman :lol:
