Not my idea - Dreamcast Europe's. It's very good though!
DREAMCAST PS2
Does your next generation gaming console cost less than £150?
DC
Yes. For less than £150 you can get an internet-ready Dreamcast with the same 128bits of power as the PS2, but with full online functionality and the finest software library in videogaming history.
Plus there are lots of great retail deals offering up to three free games.
And another deal offering a Dreamcast plus a DVD player plus games plus DVD movies for £299.
PS2
No. And it costs £299.99.
Does your console have a DVD function?
DC
No - but with the money you save on the £149 Dreamcast you can afford a full function, stand-alone DVD player and still have cash left over for a game or movie.
PS2
Yes. The PS2 has a built in DVD player but see below for its limitations.
DC
Is your DVD player multi-regional?
Yes. The DVD player being offered in the UK as part of a Dreamcast bundle is multi-region meaning you can play all the latest American movies on it months before they arrive in European cinemas.
PS2
No - the PS2 will play Region 2/ European PAL releases only which provides a somewhat limited library of films for the discerning movie fan.
Does your DVD have an infra-red remote control?
DC
Yes. This is the 21st Century.
PS2
No. You have reach forward and use the hand controller - but the wire might match the colour of your carpet.
Can you watch DVDs while someone else plays games?
DC
Yes. They are separate units so provided you have two TVs it's cool.
PS2
No.
Can you to go online and surf the Net and send emails with your console?
DC
Yes. The Dreamcast allows you to go online straight away. Just plug in the phone line and surf. E-mails can be sent direct from your TV and each Dreamcast gives you four free email addresses.
PS2
No. PSX 2 is not Internet ready and no-one knows if or when it will be able to what Dreamcast can do today.
Will your console be broadband capable?
DC
Soon. Sega will introduce broadband adapters and network in 2001.
PS2
Yes.
Does your console have more than 150 games on the shelves?
DC
Yes. Including top sellers such as Virtua Tennis, Metropolis Street Racer, Space Channel 5, Jet Set Radio, Samba De Amigo, Quake III and Shenmue.
PS2
No. There are less than 40 launch titles - most of them souped-up sequels. Check the web sites for what people are saying about them.
Does your console let you play games online?
DC
Yes. Dreamcast comes complete with a modem allowing online gaming to be enjoyed the world over.
With titles ranging from ChuChu Rocket! to Quake III Arena and 4X4 Evolution, online gaming is here to stay and only on Dreamcast.
PS2
No.
And what about online gaming next year?
DC
More to come, it will get stronger and stronger with online gaming set to become the groundbreaking genre in the videogaming world.
Sega will be bringing Daytona USA, Phantasy Star Online, Black and White and 18 Wheeler into millions of homes next year while still looking to push back the boundaries with the introduction of broadband adapters and networks.
PS2
The hype around PS2 suggests so. Let's see...
Will your console allow 4 players to play at once on the same console?
DC
Yes, of course, Dreamcast has 4 controller sockets for maximum play value.
PS2
No - unless you pay extra for a special peripheral at about £20.
Is your console available now in most shops?
DC
Yes.
PS2
No - unless you were one of the few who registered months ago.

Are Sega desperate??? I especially hate this one:

THE DC'S BEEN OUT FOR OVER A YEAR!!! OF COURSE IT'S GONNA HAVE MORE GAMES!!!
Souped up sequels??? B**locks to that. TTT got 9.4 from Gamespot, who are extremely hard to please. TimeSplitters?? What about SSX I ask?? F1 World Championship 2000 is brilliant. (I have it)
Some of them are true, but it's very biased, and in my opinion, some fot the comments are childish. They're worse than us!!

The only DC I know of is David Coulthard.
He's a bit slower than his rivals but tries very hard to catch up. Sometimes you think he's saying things just to make it sound as though he is better than he really is.

Red Vs Yellow, Grapes Vs Apples, Nintendo Vs Sega, Playstation Vs Barbie, Microsoft Vs The World, The price of back bacon in tanganyika Vs the stability of the 1992 swiss army knife!
I have had enough of all this versus stuff it should be Everyone Versus the playstation fans...i mean everyone except the playstation fans Vs the Playstation fans...
(Silly Dreamcast Fans)
Anyway I thought I'd voice my very tired and now bed ridden opinion!
The Gam .... zzzzzzzzzzzZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZz

Dreamcast wrote that? Sounds like they are worried to me if they resort to those tactics.
Nice, but very propaganderish.
