Even though the mighty Sega Dreamcast was discontinued around August 2001, it remains my favorite gaming system even with the XBOX and PS-2 being wildly popular. The Dreamcast has 128-bit graphics which is still incredible and on the same powering level of PS-2. The game selection is excellent (Soul Caliber, Crazy Taxi, Shenmue, Mortal Kombat Gold, Dead or Alive 2 and a bunch of others) The Dreamcast controllers, despite looking awkward, are very comfortable to use with all the buttons and triggers in the perfect places which provides fast response. Another big plus is that the Dreamcast has 4 controller ports (Playing with friends on San Fransisco Rush 2049 couldn't be more fun!) The Dreamcast is very easy to hook up, plays music cds and has an optional phone jack where you can go on the net.
