$80 eh...I knew you could still get new JPN units through Lik-Sang, but these are obviously NTSC-U.

I just learned about the early vesions being able to play inports with the swap disk (has a circled 0 or 1 next to the NTSC U). I would assume these ones are the newer ones, which would prevent this. Not that it matters much, but noteworthy nonetheless.

Yeah they're undoubtedly no-CD units.

Isn't EB Games still selling used units for 10 or 15 bucks? I can't see why somebody would want to pay 8 times as much for a new unit. I wonder if they'll stock Dreamcast games, too.

Agreed, though I've seen some pretty gnarly-looking refurbs come from EB and Gamestop, and avoid them like the plague. I bought my second DC at a local pawn shop about 2 years ago for $20, and with the exception of not having a box, it was brand new, and luckily a rev. 1 unit.
