Argh ok I didn't see this thread slip into a Dreamcast bashing nightmare....
1: Portable Dreamcast would rule!
2: Dreamcast is FAR better than a ps2 and graphics of the best games are a lot similar to GC & Xbox than most peopel realise, especially for clarity and smoothness, and at 60hz constantly in Europe
3: Dreamcast has a modem built into it, which is FREE to use and was the first console to play online games such as Quake 3, Phantasy Star Online, Chu Chu Rocket, Daytona USA and more. These games ran smoother and with no lag even without a broadband connection!
4: Dreamcast joypad had a screen on the pad to display information such as hud style stats, this is infinitely better than displaying them onscreen as you can keep stats, tactiics etc secret from friends in multiplayer. You could also remove the screen and carry it around with you, using it to play tetris and virtual pets, as well as saving save games on it to take to a friends house, OR PLUG INTO AN ARCADE MACHINE to upload your high scores!
5: Dreamcast has Windows installed on it and without chipping ti you can easily write or download software for it and burn it onto CDR then run it on your consle. You can use it for DivX, Mpg, Mp3, Emulators and running homebrew games.
6: Ok so all those games mentioned (except jet set radio) are available on PC, but there were SOOOO many AAA games available for Dreamcast, most of which were either exclusive, or far better on DC. PS2 and PC conversions of Dreamcast games were never even close to being as good.
7: Dreamcast had your mum.
8: And your Sister.
