Gone but not forgotten

Hello All,

I cannot celebrate the PlayStation without mourning the loss of the Dreamcast.  The Dreamcast debuted on 9/9/99, four years after the PS1 hit the US.  It was the finest system at the time, arguably the best system launch, and was killed due to Sega's bad decision making, EA not supporting it, and finally the PS2.

There is a video podcast series in iTunes that goes through the history of gaming, and is very entertaining.  Here is the episode on the Dreamcast.  If you have iTunes I recommend finding the series in their as the video quality is better.

If you missed out on the awesomeness that is the Dreamcast, you can still buy them from Amazon.  Lastly it is true that I bought a Dreamcast, then bought a second unit when they were on sale for $40, just in case the first one broke.  That is my love for the Dreamcast.

RIP Dreamcast

Deal of the Day - 9/2/10

Hello All,

A quick one for you this morning.  Woot is selling an Epson networked all-in-one printer for $59.99 shipped to your door.  If you need a printer you should buy this one.  Here is why

• Super fast - 38 Pages per minute
• You can print to it directly from your iPhone
• It is over $190 brand new - find it here
• It scans, it faxes, it copies, and it prints
• It hooks into your network wirelessly, or via ethernet cable

Epson is arguably the best printer maker out there, the only thing is their ink is a bit high, but that is what the best can do, they can charge more.

You can buy it here.
