Sega have announced a new product to be used in collaboration with Sony's PS2 machine. It's called the Dreamcast. The add-on will cost about the same as a new PS2 game (or under £30 second-hand). The Dreamcast is placed on-top of the PS2 unit and plugged directly to the TV. All you PS2 owners will then be able to choose from the large library of cut-price bargain Dreamcast games to compliment your PS2 selection.

Did you like Crazy Taxi on the PS2? Then why not invest in Crazy Taxi 2... it's better. Did you get all excited by Wimbledon? Then get the only tennis game worth buying: Virtua Tennis (or its sequel). Want a top quality, but dirt cheap challenge? Shenmue, Jet Grind Radio and Cannon Spike are all part of the new DC Platinum range available for those PS2 owners that choose to upgrade. And for the Street Fighter 2 fetishists: you'll have the biggest selection of Capcom 2d fighters of any next-gen system. Plus the DC versions are all full-screen (unlike PS2 original!).

The add-on also doubles as an online gaming system. For all you PS2 owners who thought you'd have to wait ages, it's here already... Unfortunately it will only work for DC games, but it will keep online gamers happy until Sony pulls its finger out.

The DC upgrade comes with a built-in 'multitap' tap too, as well as a very flexible Windows-based operating system. This means that emulation and the like is all highly feasible. A nice contrast to the incomprehendibly unpenetrable nature of PS2 programming.



A brand new Dreamcast-upgrade is already available as a bundle from stockists like SR. For around £70 you get the Dreamcast with Jet Grind Radio and Virtua Fighter 3... not bad, eh!
