Classic Sega Dreamcast console! Tons of Fun!
Amazon.com Review:
The Dreamcast system is, in a word, awesome. Fire up Soul Calibur, and instantly you'll appreciate that the graphics and gameplay are even better than in the arcade version. And Sonic Adventure, with its light-speed gameplay, is sure to wow even the most jaded gamer.
It's amazing that such a small machine (it's about the size of your mouse pad) can deliver such incredible performance. Chalk it up to superior engineering. Dreamcast's only downside is that it comes with only one controller and a demo disc. In order to truly take advantage of Dreamcast's capabilities, we recommend outfitting the controller with a Jump Pack and a Visual Memory Unit. Getting one or more extra controllers is also a good idea, because some of the best Dreamcast games support up to four players at once.
Why it's so cool: - Ultramodern components: Custom-made video, audio, and processor technology blows away the Nintendo 64 and PlayStation and puts Dreamcast in the same league as PS2 and XBox.
- Integrated modem: In another video-game first, Dreamcast comes with a 56K modem. Use your regular Internet service provider and the separately sold keyboard to access e-mail, shopping, and the World Wide Web. Not only can you upload high scores, participate in chat discussions, and download updates and enhancements for your games, but, through a membership to the SegaNet Internet service provider, you can play Quake III Arena, NFL 2K1, and other games against Dreamcast owners over the Internet.
- The Visual Memory Unit (VMU): More than just a memory card, the VMU is a miniature portable game system that fits inside a controller--so its LCD screen is easily seen by you but hidden from your opponent.
- All-in-one entertainment: It plays games. It plays audio CDs. It connects to the Internet and lets you browse the Web or e-mail friends. Our note to the cost-conscious: If you have a Dreamcast system, you just don't need a separate CD player or a separate computer. Dreamcast does it all, and does it well.

Customer Reviews Average Rating: 
Rating:  - ahead of it's time, but overshadowed by the PS2.
In short, the good:
great selection of quality games not found on competing game consoles of the period.
first game console to go online, and first to have broadband and internet access.

revolutionary
The bad:
Awkward controllers.Solid, but strange feel with only one analog stick.
Weird memory units (VMU's) with ... Read More

There's no greater case for questioning "why" and "what if" than the Dreamcast. Everything you can say about this system has been said 100x over. Underrated, overlooked, before it's time, revolutionary. The list goes on and on. It all adds up to fun anyway.
I'm one of those that was completely sold on the Dreamcast. I'd never been more excited about a console and never have since. This was the console that finally would give us arcade quality games in our homes. I remember when I first saw ... Read More
Rating:  - Great system!

P.S. it is worth the money.
Rating: - Great Console!
If I had known the dreamcast was so much better than a playstation 2, I would have gotten one instead. Games like Sonic Adventure, Shenmue, SoulCalibur are amazing on this little system. Highly recommended for those who have the extra cash laying around, or want to try a different gaming system.
Rating: - Best Console I Ever Had!!! (Did not Last)
I have owned a Sega Genesis, Sega Dreamcast, Gameboy, and Xbox, and I must say that the Sega Dreamcast provided the most enjoyment out of all of them. I have always though graphics are a little overrated, and that the main priority is gameplay, which is what this system brings. Luckily, I do not care enough that the graphics are not as good as Xbox or PS2 at the time of it's release, because they simply are not. But, I simply loved the games that were provided for the Dreamcast. My absolute favorites were ... Read More
