Check out the "Buy Now" Link (seems like it comes with free shipping!)  ;D

BTW, It seems this game is such a good deal it's already SOLD OUT!  ;)

....me kidding?......well yes and no.

Actually the "installation" includes the following items--

1 round trip plane ticket for specially trained Dreamcast game "installer" to go to the client's home.

1 night stay at a local hotel with free continental breakfast for the installer.

1 roundtrip taxi to the Dreamcast owner's home and back to the airport.

The technician would then (using a special tool) remove the plastic overwrapping on the DC game and open the lid of the Dreamcast. He/she would then "install" the game and verify that it's working ok.

...that pretty much covers the whole $995. I would suggest a tip though......

HOLY COW....I NOW SOUND LIKE HOWARD CASTO with is "what were you thinking??? helpful" answers! (dude (Howard) don't flame me...I say it out of respectful love).

....and yes....I was kidding.


....the $995. DOES NOT include the round trip plane ticket!

Im not sure that it is a typo, because DCs have been out of production, that they have probably slowed production. If it isn't being mass produced anymore, prices go up... Im sur not that much, but you never know...
