I played a Dreamcast.  To be honest, I'm waiting for GameCube. I don't need a DVD player, Sony. But I saved my pennies for PS2 anyway and I went to Toys R US to buy a couple of PS2 games (so that when my friends at Amazon said 'we have your PS2 for you,' I'd be ready.) While there, I played San Francisco Rush 2049. Awesome. Long story short: for LESS than the cost of a PS2 and ONE game, I got the Dreamcast, FOUR games (NHL2K, NFL2K1, Rush 2049, and Jedi Power Battles), and a memory pack. The games look and play beautifully in all their 129-bit glory. And the hockey--a first generation version, I might add--easily rivals EA Sports' game. NFL2K1, based on what I've seen of Madden PS2 at Circuit City and online, is just as good if not better. You get more bang for your buck with the Dreamcast. I may even keep mine when the GameCube comes out--that's how impressive it is.
