Sega Drops Dreamcast Price To $50

Posted by timothy on from the good-luck-finding-the-broadband-adapter dept.

kerskine writes: "Just read this article on CNET that says Sega has just dropped the price of the Dreamcast console to US$49.95. Given past articles on Slashdot on all sorts of fun Dreamcast projects, now's the chance to get one. Why not get two (in case you break one)?" See also this article on getting Linux to run on Dreamcast, and NetBSD is another option to explore. 8ight points out even more interesting Dreamcast information.

    in recent news /. recently announced in a press conference that they were "...going to stray from being actual news site, to reporting more hearsay and posting lame JonKatz articles"

    "we realize Jon makes stuff up but we really can't help ourselves, he's so damn cute" said Hemos, known for his prolific misspelling. "in actuality, we've been doing this for years. We [slashdot.org] don't actually report anything, we just link users to stuff that already exists."

    Rob Malda commented with, "yeah, i mean i was the genious that figured out we could get lots of hit by posting redundant news stories in one place. and heck we got some washed up hotwired writer to make stuff up too."

    "But seriously, we are really the ones behind the hot grits/petrified natalie portman thing" said timothy, one of the slashdot moderators. "it was funny watching all the copycats spring up. i actually saw her [ms. portman] once, in person. it was great."

    slashdot.org was bought by VALinux and many of the owners found themselves swimming in piles of money. Rob "Roblimo" Miller was reported to have bought a limousine with gold flecked rainbow paint, wall-to-wall shagg carpet interror, and gold plated badges. Rob Malda has offically changed his name to the symbol ß and is now known as 'the guy formally known as CmdrTaco'. Hemos has actually found he can multiply and has begun to take over the world with his misspelling hellspawn.

      Taco's the one with horrible spelling (among other problems with his articles). Hemos's spelling is usually pretty good.

    ....for that price I can buy two. One to use and one to hold up the low end of the couch!
    I think this should be modded as "Funny", unless someone really considers the fact that MrWinkey's couch is low on one end being an insightful piece of information to them. :P

    But then again, what do I know...?
