"Next up on the big games bill was Quake III Arena, a game that looks absolutely fantastic given the Dreamcast's power. As I played it with 10 other Dreamcast gamers online before we went into the theatre, I couldn't believe how nice it looked. Comparable with my Athlon 800 PC, the game moved just as quickly and was flawless online. Smooth, easy to control and great with the mouse and keyboard combination, it looked much better than UT on PS2 and will have Infogrames working overtime to make Unreal look as good on the Dreamcast too"
Tigerblade it is very, very obvious that you are a loyal Sega supporter so why pretend that you purchased a PS2?
Also Sega has been up and running for a year and have had time to set up an online network. They should really have waited to release the console until they had the network up and running as the complete inability to deliver online gaming from the word go has dented their reputation but that is neither here nor there. Sony will eventually deliver online gaming when they have decided what their strategy is and hopefully only after they have put in place the infrastructure that will make this possible (unlike Sega).
I personally dont care much for online gaming anyway but if I did then I would buy a DC now and a PS2 at the end of next year when the on-line strategy becomes clear. Maybe when a better variety of games are online playable (beat em ups, racers etc and not just FPS's) then I will consider online gaming worthwhile.

Of course, it would make more sense to post this in the Dreamcast section, but everybody there already knows this above.
Nice one Tiger.
