Just got done testing out all 3 systems with a retail disc and all 3 loaded up the game perfectly. So as it stands the "broken" dreamcast was just one of the ones that doesn't read cd-r's. So as it stands I got 3 functional dreamcasts in which I don't know what to do with 2 of them.

Do what I did with my 3 extra DCs. Keep them for parts.

Lol, I thought about that too...but the dreamcast I mainly use is a revision 1. The other 2 are both revision 2 and besides the power board and shell pieces nothing else can be used for parts :/ motherboard and gdrom are different from revision 1.
I was talking with my cousin though and I'll probably do the vga mod to one of the revision 2 models since vga boxes are insane expensive.

Ha.... get this.... Bought a Dreamcast 3 years ago from a yard sale, $10 with a BOOKLET of games. Awesome find. Most games were common, some hard to find (kid kept the inserts, just threw out the cases)....
... the horror was that the EYE of the LASER was yanked out... I bought one that didn't play discs. It couldn't read it as some idiotic kid thought it would be cute to destroy the MF.... still pissed I didn't offer him $5 =P
