    fiscal my foot! If there wasnt a shortage in 1999-2000 in stock they would had sold those units but instead alowed the PS2 TO take advantage of it. Then there are the constant unreleased games. And they spoiled the Japanese market but not the US with these devices. some of this has gotta be on purpose..

    There was no shortage of DCs. That is a common misconception. In fact in mid 2000 they had to stop making DCs, not in an attempt to kill off the line, but because there were SOOO many sitting unsold that it didn't make sense to manufacture any more. As for devices the japanese got that we didn't, do you have a DreamKara or a DreamEye (the two major accessories the japanese got that we didn't) ? I do. They are fairly useless. The karaoke unit required subscription to a japanese service that made you download songs to use them, and the DreamEye made it very difficult to transfer pictures to a PC (the only way was to use the DC email system to email them to yourself). As a webcam/two way conference device it was ok, but otherwise... meh.
    If anyone is looking to buy, sell, trade games and support a developer directly at the same time, consider joining Goozex. Enjoy!

    I doubt it's a knockoff. If anything, it could be a restock of the original Dreamcast Direct watches.
