Erm... no idea what it will look like on that TV. I wouldn't sell the Dreamcast, though, unless you never plan to play it again. It's too awesome of a system. Just buy a Saturn. They're really not that expensive.
I have my Saturns, I have some of my games, I have a RasPi. Gotta put all this stuff together!

I second this. You might regret getting rid of that dreamcast later on. They're both awesome systems, but I wouldn't get rid of one for the other. Wait until you can have both.

I don't think the Dreamcast will provide that great of a browsing experience anymore, even with a BBA.

Isn't the dreamcat BBA like over 100 dollars for a used one? Unless you plan on playing online games a lot on Dreamcast man I really wouldn't think that would be worth it for just browsing the internet.

Around $150 last I checked, but it's been a while. That was the average for a long time, though.

I got one for about $100 shipped. But that was a while ago. Maybe a year or so I think.

I got mine for a similar price, back when there was a temporary dip in the average price of a BBA. But they were $150 for a long time, and then went back up not long after I grabbed mine.

Yeah I had been watching them for a few years and $100 is the cheapest I've personally seen them. That was right after the economy exploded and a lot of stuff in the used gaming scene got like 20% cheaper for a while. I haven't seen how much they go for since though.

Kind of a cool piece to have in the collection as it came complete with the box and manual and stuff.

well i was planning on buying a sega saturn when i went to the gameexplosion a few months back, but i ended up buying a dreamcast. the saturn was a little bit out of my price range. ill buy one off of ebay here soon when my dad gets his check, he was gonna buy me and my bro a laptop which is $250, but in stead i just asked for the money going towards it, because i have somethings i need and want to buy, which includes a sega saturn and panasonic 3do system

I owned two 3DOs at one point. Unless you have a really good reason to get one, I don't really recommend it. I personally regretted my decision to pick them up. They were a neat novelty for a day or two, but then I realized there were no games I wanted to play for them.
