[not a person] Death in the Family

[wshbrngr]

Hello Everyone:

I suffered a recent loss when my Dreamcast suddenly died.  

I had no idea it was even sick. It seemed to be working fine, I went to the bathroom and when I returned... it was dead.
When I push the power button, the power LED flickers briefly, but then nothing.

Very sad day for me.

Oh, I thought there was a legitimate (human) death at first.

The Dreamcast is quite a loss though, thats why i have 2 just in case anything happens.  Good thing they dont cost too much anymore.  Gotta klove how quickly dreamcast consoles depreciate in value.

Yeah, I was thinking a person had died...

My Saturn bit the dust a few months ago. Still haven't found a new one - they all still go for too much. $40 was the lowest I could find.

I'm thinking about buying a second DC though, as a friend of mine is moving and wants to sell his (complete with box!) for only $20.

You guys sound like my wife.......

She doesn't understand why this makes me sad.

No, I understand you, it's just that the topic title deceived me.

Trust me, I was really bummed after realizing my Saturn wouldn't play anymore. I'd put Die Hard Arcade in, saying "Please Play! Please Please Play!", then Vampire Savior, then X-Men vs Street Fighter, then Guardian Heroes, everytime hoping with all my might it will work... very depressing.
