I guess I'm just a Sega fanboy underneath it all, I've always been loyal to Sega since the days of the Genesis, and I've owned the Sega CD, 32X (I want my money back on that), the Saturn, and the Dreamcast.  Now recently I bought [another brand], and guess what, I still play my Dreamcast more...  What killed the Dreamcast was that it was too ambitious for its own good.  Online play made the system one of a kind...  Now the Dreamcast wasn't a bad system at all.  Like I said, the online play elevated the system to new levels, and the library of games (most of them were exclusive...) the system was trouble free and had one of the best designed controlers on the market.  Shockingly original games...plus the best sports titles on any system made the Dreamcast one of the best systems ever made, and I for one will miss it...
