U don't know wat ur missing, sure, gamecube + xbox are coming, but PS2 is rubbish and for £99.99, you can get a dreamcast, 4 games and a mem. card. Great games @ low prices.

But sega titles can compare with PS2 titles graphically... no other DC developer really made an effort. Tekken tag (PS2 )looks like something that they developed during a 6 minute period when they were completely drunk compared to Soul Calibur.

I've got a DC with 73 games and a PS2 with 7 games.
The PS2 actually gets more game time nowadays though, as graphically it knocks the socks off the DC with some of the current titles. The killer apps. in my PS2 collection are currently Silent Hill 2 (makes Code Veronica look like a comedy), Baldur's Gate: Dark Alliance (I've never seen graphics on any other platform quite as good as this) and Grand Theft Auto 3, (no other game has ever had so much variety crammed into it).
In terms of gameplay the DC still edges it as it has more Sega titles compared to the PS2, and most people will agree that when it comes to gameplay Sega are up there in the top 5 developers. Titles like Metropolis Street Racer, Head Hunter, Phantasy Star Online, Skies of Arcadia and Grandia 2 are all 'unique' in their appeal, all for different reasons.
But it won't be long until the PS2 overtakes the DC in terms of the number of killer apps. available for it. That's not to say that the DC won't get played again, just that it'll get played less often.

I've been blasting through the succulent "Jet Set Radio" for most of the day - still playing it 12 months or so after buying it.
The PlayStation 2 is severely lacking in killer apps, whereas the Dreamcast has many. Soon though, there will be many PS2 games that you'd rather be playing than Dreamcast games.

I must say that the death of the Dreamcast was one of the worst things to hit gaming since cheese hit pizza.
Yesterday, my Dreamcast was re-surrected for one game.
Yesterday, I picked up Virtua Tennis 2, which was intended as a Christmas present for my brother, but as he guessed it blatantly, my dad let him have it - which made me happy!
I played the game solidly for about 2 hours on the first night and about an hour and a half tonight. I wasn't satisfied, I put on Jet Set Radio. I had so forgotten how great it is to play the older games and what a thrill I get - there really is nothing like grinding down a stairway at 60 miles per hour!
I really hope that the Dreamcast lives on and is not forgotten.
