Well is it, I mean look at all the good games that are available for it,
(DOA2, The Shenmue series, F355, ect) and look at the prices, they are dirt cheap.

The graphics are just as good as the Playstation 2 easily. You also have to admit that the DC has had the online gaming cracked well before any of its competitors and at only 1p per minute it great value. I mean, who in their right mind is going to buy the drive for the PS2 for £100 just to enable them to play online when we have the internet right here in front of us which in most cases allows us to play for free.

Also the failure of the Dreamcast has helped us all to play good quality games on other consoles, since SEGA started concentrating on making games for other consoles we can have all our favourite SEGA characters available on other consoles.

So is the Dreamcasts failure all bad? I dont think so, I have had mine for just over a year and I dont plan to get rid of it anytime soon.

If I had the choice, which I don't, I would much prefer it if all the new SEGA games appearing on the other consoles were coming out "exclusively" on the Dreamcast. But alas, it cannot happen.

Still, there are loads of great DC games being given away at ridulously low prices, so what the hell.
The other day I saw a new copy of Sword Of The Beserk for £2.99 - unbelievable!
