Has anybody else bought a dreamcast. I saw the extremely cheap price tag(50-60 bucks) and then saw that I could download every game and burn to cdr and have it work without hardware modifications and that just sealed the deal. This is one sweet machine. I can't believe that Sega gave up on it. Buy one while you can they are already hard to find.

Actually rampant piracy allows for more acceptance. Look at microsoft office and lotus notes. Lotus notes was superior but hard to pirate while office was not. Look what's popular.

Pfft... Dreamcast.

(Kicks His Under the Bed)

I haven't played mine in about 4 months, with all my games being pirated as well. However, I don't know why, I just lost interest in it extremely quickly. :drool:

Not to mention you can get a high speed ethernet adapter for Dreamcast on eBay and use your Dreamcast as a WebTV type device. Shit you can even buy a keyboard and mouse for it on eBay. Not sure if anyone actually plays those games online or not but hey the equiptment is pretty cheap so its worth a look.

Too bad the fucking adapter costs as much as the DC itself. Too bad I'd really would have liked to play Phantasy Star Online.

OK, so my brother bought this system like a year ago, but then traded it in when PS2 came out. He didn't like it. Is it worth spending the money on the system then all the gameS?

It's like 50-60 bucks for system. 10-15 for memory card(VMU) and then you can basically burn all games to cdr. Simple as that.

As a FYI to my Dreamcast playing brethen...NHL 2K2, big disappointment. Choppy music, awful and super-repetitive announcing, no francise-mode, and even pauses where the cameras just sit waiting for faceoff for a minute or two. They really dropped the ball on this one, and just spewed it out to make a buck..b/c it's like they spent no time creating any depth or use. Oh yeah...trades, only one for one and no general manager. Gets a D+.
There are four kinds of people in this world: cretins, fools, morons, and lunatics.

I just want Skies of Arcadia at this point. I checked a few stores but alas, since I wanted it, there was none to be had. I guess my lazy fuckin ass is going to have to learn how to "back up" my DC games now just so I don't have to wait for the Ps2 version of this game. Unless I am mistaken and this game was never released stateside, wich would make me an ass.

My Dreamcast died abou 8 months ago. Fuck Sega. Now the piece of shit just sits out on the sun porch taking up space right next to the N64. And i really liked Shenmue and Resident Evil Veronica too.

You can buy it preowned for 25 there. I'm sure you could buy it somewhere else but /me is too lazy to look.
