Advantages: Good Graphics, Simple, Nowadays very cheap.

Disadvantages: Primative and no longer manufactured.

The dreamcast was a massively underrated console in my opinion, and can still be picked up in good condition on eBay for a cheap price like £30. You can't pay DVDs on it, but you can play Dreamcast games and Music CDs. The Dreamcast was the last console to be made by Sega who decided to give up making consoles and instead focus totally on the software side to their business.

The release of the Play Station 2 clashed with the release of the dreamcast, and whilst both consoles were competing for customers, the dreamcast couldn't really beat the DVD playing super graphics console and unfortunately was discontinued in March 2001. The dreamcast has more than 325 official games in it's library and although it is now hard to get hold of them, eBay is a good place to look. My own personal favourite game for the dreamcast was Crazy Taxi and the sountrack still pays in my head to this day and reminds me of mychildhood.

The Dreamcast is a small white console with a top opening disc drive and a small triangular light. It has space for 4 controllers as standard which is more than the Play station 2. The dreamcast pioneered online console gaming being the first console to have an internet modem built in to support online gaming.

An old classic, but unfortunately will soon be totally extinct as the last few good condition units begin to expire.

Summary: A classic!
