Dreamcast :( I'd say I will miss it, but since mine works great, it's stillg oing to be around. It's sad though. I swear, day after I bought my PS2, I was back to the Dreamcast with MvsC2. Hell, day after my brother got a Gamecube, I was arguing for him to move so I could play some Last Blade 2 :P Dreamcast. One fo the greatest systems ever :)
The way dreamcasts break is insane..... within 2 years of the last dc they will probaly be extinct.
Better pray for dc emu's to come out soon.
I've had my Dreamcast since they first came out in the US (9-9-99) and I've had NO problems with it so far. I don't blow mine up all the time though like I used to. My brother, on the other hand, his DC blew out on him and I got him a new one for Christmas, but that's the only problem I've ever had. It beats having a messed up PS2 that won't play music CD's and blue back PS2 games, and PS1 games. Then it costs over $100 just to get it fixed. While a new DC only costs $50. So if it does get messed up you can get a new one twice as easily as you can get your PS2 fixed. If you own a PS2 and if there are any DC in your area.

I know scores of people with Dreamcasts, about a 1/3 of them are modded, none of them ever broke.

...I will ever write about this system.
1. I'm astonished that a VG mag is even bothering with a "dead" system. From everything I've seen, they're extremely cutthroat when it comes to new, new, NEW, and they won't give even some really good games for the cutting-edge systems the time of day (hello, Swing Away Golf!). I must admit, this is pretty admirable of Gamepro, especially since they're giving it away.
2. The Dreamcast is a fine system and EVERY BIT THE EQUAL OF THE PS2 in every way that matters (I have one, BTW, so I should know) which died out only because Sega somehow dropped the ball on the Asian market. (Sega's marketing screwups are starting to rival SNK's.)
3. I've never had any problems whatsoever with the operation of my DC. I've never once cleaned or did any maintenance work on it. I've run into a grand total of ONE defective game (Sports Jam; it occasionally would crash and throw the DC main menu in my face).
4. I have close to a dozen DC games now. I'm confident that my passion for these games will die out long before the system does.
5. And this is coming from someone who's had nothing but good things to say about the PS2. (Well, since he actually got one, but never mind that.)
Anyway, tough loss for Sega, glad something good's come out of it.
