Bear in mind I have a dreamcast + 40 top games, a multi region DVD player and prefer multiplayer gaming and online capabilities.

I've changed my name as best I can now - sorry Wookie Monster!

So - are you still getting a PS2 Dan2K1? Because they aren't all that you know, and give it a year - they'll be £175 perhaps.

Just grab an up to date PC... the current specs will outlast the currently released consoles...

It may cost more initially...

However the amount of money you'll end up paying a psycaiatrist (or however its spelt!) once you've had a nervous breakdown from trying to decide what console to get, you'll be al the richer :)

Play the games... not the politics :)

don't get a PS2 cos they suck, i know cos i've got one.

The DVD player is crap and i play on my Dreamcast more because it is a lot better.

Because although the current batch of Dreamcast games look good now, in 6 months your going to be wanting a little more than you'll have been left with...

Although lets be honest, you'd be better off with a GC or X-Box

The Dreamcast has an uncertain Future, once Sega stops production it may die, or maybe others will put Segas bits and bobs into their set top boxes and X-boxes...who knows, the Dreamcast may even make a return someday! It sold more units than the PS1, and PS2 in the UK this year.

However with the PS2 you have a machine that everyone in the industry are supporting! Thats the plus, certainty, but as a cost!

I'll try and convince you that the GameCube is worth getting! But I cannot say I have played it or held it. I'm just going by how the air tastes - check my post!

Another whole in another pair of jeans...

The Game - thanks - I have a spare £300 ready, but Sniper - how can you say this - who is it aimed at? And ARE you (as the collective 'we') borg?

Shame...
