So you've been able to get Dreamcasts on ebay and such for some time. People sell used consoles all the time. Now that ThinkGeek has put up a page to sell some Yahoo see this as some sort of comeback that will possibly compete with Playstation 2 price drop which is also the same price that ThinkGeek is selling the DC . They don't specifically say it's competing but it is heavily implied. Also their source for their information is "according to the Internet". The article I am linking to thinks Yahoo said that sega is rereleasing DC . But at no point do I believe that is what Yahoo is saying. Basically all this report is saying is. "Cool, ThinkGeek is selling some DC "

Nice bit of double entendre there!   :clap:

I see the author of that Op Ed, Matthew Razak is the Yahoo.  Yeah, Matthew states that "Yahoo! ... assumed that SEGA had rereleased the DreamCast". 

The video just says plainly, "...despite officially being off the market for eight years, several online retailers are selling brand new DreamCast systems..."
