to be honest man if you have tons of games on you dreamcast and are happy with it i'd keep it but if you want to play the current and future PS2 titles and even the back catalogue of classic Ps1 games then the PS2 is for you.

If you're happy with your DC, keep it. If you can afford it, why not have a PS2 as well? Does it HAVE to be one or the other?

Although do bear in mind that the DC may only have abuot 8/9 months left in it. Sega have said that they won't be producing any more games for it after March/April next year, and once they stop, will 3rd-party companies continue to support it?

If you must choose between them, then apart from the games, consider the cash aspect. If you trade-in or sell your DC now, you will get more for it. If you wait, the PS2 will come down in price, but you'll get less for your DC when you get rid of it.

I'd keep the DC AND get the psx2.

If you trade it in, you won't get anything near what you paid for it as a discount off a new psx2. Best to keep it and use it.

Psx2 games started off fairly good, and have been getting better and better. Compare racers such as the release day game ridge racer and this month new release GT3 to see how the development of games is going.

Definitely buy one !

Yeah, get a bundle or something.Go to EB and look for any good offers they have got. The console includes a Dual Shock pad and the demo CD.

The good games to get would be:

Timesplitters
Red Faction
Extermination
Escape From Monkey Island(if u like that)
Quake 3
Formula 1 2001

Anything else.Ermmmm.....er....welllll...

Well there is a game called GT3...

U can connect your PS2 using different methods.Using the SCART lead,the RGB lead or simply the connection that comes with the console.

Ask Wookiee about the TVs.He is an expert in that field:)

Ninty here,

i say buy a PS2, honestly if there ever was a console worth buying for one game this would have to be it. GT3 is that damn good.

Get a PS2, DC's have had there time.
If you really have to sell your DC, take it to your nearest GameStation shop, they'll give you the best trade-in offer.

Depends on how many games you've got etc though.

Besides, GT3 isn't on DC.
