hit some pawn shops, i found my local one had a pile (literaly a pile on the floor) of dreamcasts for 24.99 thats with controller and wires etc, plus a 7 day exchange.
make sure it says "1" nest to the "ntsc" and not "2", 2's cant read cdrs at all, so no music or other burned things can be used in them, luckily the pawn guy was cool and let me get another one with a "1" on it
