   NCS is now confirming and accepting pre-orders for a Dreamcast shipment that is due next Monday. We now require that the customer pre-pay the full amount of the order by credit card or by secured instrument such as a money order when confirming the reservation. If you decide not to take the order next week, NCS will refund the amount in total with no charges to you. The purpose of the pre-payment is to have some sort of guaranteed shipping schedule for immediate dispatch next Monday. The holidays always get a little harried and we prefer to prepare for the madness this week instead of next Monday morning. The quantity of Dreamcast units being brought in will be much, much larger than past shipments and time will be critical in order for us to dispatch everything on the same day. I.e, credit cards and payments will be out of the way and everything can be packed and shipped once the stock is available. Pre-payment will also allow NCS to prepare all of our shipping logs and airway bills this week instead of waiting to do everything next Monday. New DC console and package prices are listed below for the next shipment that is due on 12/21:
Dreamcast console US$475
Dreamcast with any one game US$535
Dreamcast with any two games US$595

In addition to Godzilla Generations, July, Pen Pen Tricelon, and Virtua Fighter 3tb, customers may also choose from Sonic Adventure, Seventh Cross, Incoming or Tetris 4D for their choice of game(s). All four new Dreamcast titles are due to arrive with the new DC shipment on December 21.
Many customers on our reservation lists appear to want to wait until DC prices are more reasonable. As such, our previous contacting of customers on our listings has been inefficient. If you wish to place an order for a Dreamcast that is guaranteed to ship next Monday at the prices listed above, please contact us this week, preferably today or tomorrow to reserve a unit.
Pre-order by simply e-mailing NCS with your name, address, telephone number and a brief message. Orders may also be placed by dialing (718) 523-5774 or faxing (718) 523-7069. Thank you.
