One of my favorite systems. It was much better then people said. And my favorite - TO THIS DAY - controller. Sadly, I went on vacation for a couple weeks and it must of somehow got turned on while i was gone, and when I came back it was melted on the left side. *sigh* R.I.P. Dreamcast.

i always looked at the xbox as carrying on segas legacy
the controllers and button layout are similar to DC
the idea of an internal memory card comes from saturn
so many game franchises came to xbox from DC -Shenmue -Jet Set Radio -House of the Dead -Sega GT -Sonic (yeah its on the other systems, but screw them) -Crazy Taxi (see above)
even some of the on-disc security measures were used on dreamcast
my first true "casemod" (sortof) was changing my DC LED to blue, lol

I made the mistake before, I will avoid it this time .. I will wait for PS3.
Comparing MS to SEGA is a very stupid mistake to make, the Dreamcast was doing well its just that SEGA didn't have enough money (and toooooo much debt) to support the Dreamcast and decided to stop supporting the console.

It was my first consle. I loved it. But then it came to an early end. Which is very dissaponting. Damn you PS2! I LOVED Sonic Adventure 2. I played it at least 50 times over the course of 1 year. My favorite charater was Shadow. Im going to buy Shadow the Hedgehog when it comes out.

I bought one at it's U.S. release and waited 6 months for something good to come out for it. I got impatient and sold it only to have a whole bunch of good games release a couple weeks later. I ended up buying it again a month later for half of what I sold it for and have kept it to this day. It's outlasted my Ps2 and Xbox. Sega, much like Nintendo, knew how to make a console that lasts longer than the 90-day warranty.

The Dreamcast was truly ahead of its time. The VMU was perhaps THE peripheral that had the greatest potential but was the most underutilized of any system to date. Online experiences through the BBA were great on supporting games, and the video resolution through the vga box was equally as amazing.

oh boy, never got a dreamcast but i would go over to my friends house who had it and we played 12 hours a day trying to beat sonic and shemue 2 or w/e. jeeez good times.
too bad we cant make an emulator for the dc yet but with the next gen we can! sweet.
i still would take a modded xbox in heart beat over DC. Dc had the games but xbox is still a step ahead.
