Advantages: Great games, very cheap, a worthy opponent to the ps2

Disadvantages: bottom line - it's not going to last much longer.

I walked past a computer games shop called Game, and i saw an offer that i could not refuse - a Dreamcast plus a game for £70! This bargain seemed unbeliveable at first, but when one takes a look at the huge price tag of the playstation 2, which everyone is buying, is it any wonder that sega are so drastically reducing the price in order to get some customers back?

Another amazing thing that i discovered was that there were loads of dreamcast games available for under £10! The free game that i got with the Dreamcast console was Tomb Raider: Chronicles, which admittedly, is not all that good, but seeing as the games were so cheap, i was able to indulge myself in a few more, such as Trickstyle (£7.99), and Shadowman (an amazing £4.98!).

One thing i should point out is that i bought my Dreamcast during the January sales. However, the actual price of the console was not a part of the sales as far as i know, but the prices of the games were. This only means that when the sales are over games like shadowman will be £9.99 instead of £4.98, which is still very cheap.

The only downside to buying a Dreamcast is that due to the fact that the playstation 2 is doing so well, i forsee that games will stop coming out for the dreamcast and it will die off very very soon, just like its elder brother, the sega saturn did. This is not very good but as long as you buy all the good games while they are available now, you should be happy you got such a great deal.

As it stands on graphics and quality of games, the dreamcast is right up there with the ps2, but noone can change what the public buy, so right now we may be getting an amazing deal, but later sadly the dreamcast will be no more.
