"Me and My lil' white box"

In my local WH Smith shop I was checking out the games on every format, seeing no new games for my Dreamcast I went to the next shelf. I saw a number of ace games with brill graphics, I looked up and I saw the PS2 sign. I did have a massive grudge against Sony and there PS2 as I was a big DC fan, but once I saw those games in the shop and bought a magazine for PS2 my opinions swayed to the side of Sony.

I thought of ways to get money by doing jobs and selling things, and then I thought of my little white box, the one that I had trusted over the years for quality gaming filling in my hours of boredom… My Dreamcast. I am (well was) going to sell it. I found out if I did a car boot sale and sold my DC I could get just enough money for it, with my bro chipping in with his birthday dosh.

But then came the day, my brothers birthday. June the 21st… My brother had got £150 for his birthday, and he dropped out of the PS2 deal. I didn’t have enough money, I was angry with my brother and disappointed.
Then… My brother went out and bought 3 DC games, Silent Scope, European Super League and the game that changed my mind… NBA 2K. I decided to my self that what’s the point of selling my DC, I’ve got al these brilliant games, and I don’t want them to go to waste.
And what happens when games like Shenmue II and Headhunter come out and I can only look at them from the shop window with my mouth drooling over the graphics and the amount of Game play.

I had decided to keep my DC. I’m going to get a PS2 for Christmas, and still keep my little white box. It may be going downhill and loosing fans everyday, but it’s not loosing me. I’m going down with the DC, I’ve been through it’s highest times and it’s lowest times and I’m not going to back out now, I don’t do that to people (or even consoles!)

I’m buying my self an import disc so I can play games from America, mainly the NBA series, where I’m going to get NBA 2k2.

So here’s a lesson to all you DC owners. Thinking of selling a DC, what’s the point of selling it? With Christmas around the corner, (well maybe a few corners) you can get your Gcube, PS2 or Xbox then. But stick with your DC and join the new games like Out-trigger, Shenmue II and Headhunter. Do not back out, DC needs you…

I used to luv english basketball, i used to go to every match. But since the London Towers moved to Crystal Palace i cant go to no matches so i've lost contact. But I love the NBA!

I love basketball. Although none of my friends will ever play me as they all like football and football only. How tall are you Spider. I am about 5 11. I used to like basketball but it was only when I got NBA live '99 (which isn't that good. Okay but not that good.) I started to get into it a bit more.

The dreamcast is great, I would have loved to check out Phantasy star online,Sonic 2 and Crazy Taxi 2 but After i got my PS2 and saw exactly what it's capable of, My dreamcast was just an old has been.

I love Crazy Taxi and now have it for the PS2 (cheers SR) and it's just the same actually better since it uses the dual shock very well, only problem is my memory card is knacked so to get the bike i have to do all the crazy box every time D'oh.
Code Veronica was immence and is my favourite game on the dreamcast but the complete version with the special DVD is on it's way to the PS2 along with Res 4, 5, devil may cry and onimusha. It's a shame Sega had to go out this way because making such a comeback over the saturn to the awsome dreamcast was class.

Anyway they're still going to continue making games and transferring their classic titles to other formats.

So Spider you like Basketball do you? Or is it only the games. Me.. I like playing the games and the sport. By the way did you get a GBA today? I didn't but my friend has. I should be able to play on TH2 tommorrow. Great? I will probably have to wait till my birthday to get one as it costs nearly £90 and thats without any games.

I'm not going, i'm thratenig. But i do respect Sony and Sega and also Nitendo, i respect ever consle company. But one thing i dont respect is people that put down these companys, whats the point of doing that. If we only hjad one gaming company now, say we only had SEga, we wouldn't have the technolagy in gaming that we have now. This is because of rival compamnys, they have to improve all the time. If theres nothing to ipmorve on except your self, well then theres no rush to improve.

So lets be greatful that we've got so much choice in consoles, so lets keep it that way and support Sega in every way.

NOooooo, don't go Spid. I like this post - honestly.

I'm glad that you now appreciate Sony for what they've produced.
