European distributor to offer Dreamcast/DVD package

[09.06.00] » Distributor to bundle DVD player and Dreamcast for same price as a PlayStation 2.

    With the price of DVD players consistently falling and the recent price drop of the Dreamcast, the idea of buying both a console and a DVD player instead of a PlayStation 2 for both is now a realistic one. One company in particular, Gem, has seized on this idea and announced a DVD player/Dreamcast bundle in Europe for 299 pounds - the same price as a PlayStation 2. No details on the DVD player were available, but European gamers can expect this new option before the end of the month.

    While no company has made a similar move in the U.S., industrious gamers can make their own DVD player and Dreamcast combination cost as much as a PS2 without too much trouble.
