You won't find them anywhere as new titles, and places with used sections like EB just don't give it the shelf space anymore
Jesus, I know what you mean. I don't have one nor will I buy the refurbed one coming out. But I found a DVD/game shop in the little neighborhood I'm staying at in Tokyo that sells used DC's. They're selling those for around $90 (all excellent shape, but is that a going rate for the DC still??), but the game are really the premium items - like around $45-60 for the better Japanese games.

lol, hope they are including links to the bittorrent sites to download the GAMES for your just boight dreamcast, cause they are getting a bit hard to find allready. You won't find them anywhere as new titles, and places with used sections like EB just don't give it the shelf space anymore.
Microsoft (and by extension EA) was only concerned with getting the Xbox 360 out first, rather than making a truly next-gen system and titles.
I think combination of expecting too much and actually getting a subpar title really ruined these games. MS has a really solid system going, but I think their desire to get the 360 out literally months (or even a year) before the other two systems they really had to cut corners somewhere. Really isn't en excuse because I would've like to see FIFA Soccer 06 delayed a few months just to get a complete release.

The lack of innovation affects all the titles. While NBA, Tiger Woods and Madden are solid games this is not the future of gaming we were promised.
Clearly, EA and Microsoft want Xbox 360 owners to be forced to buy the new game rather than run the only two-month old previous title on their brand spanking new machines.
EA's motto is to "Challenge Everything", but these games challenge the Xbox 360 and owners very little.
This really sums it up for those sport titles. I was really shocked at how average Madden 06 and NBA 2006 were. Just shows how rushed and ill planned this was. Microsoft (and by extension EA) was only concerned with getting the Xbox 360 out first, rather than making a truly next-gen system and titles.
