yo man... chill out and wait...

Morrowind should come up early May...

and use the other $50 on something useful that isn't video game related. RPGs brainwash your mind, but theyre fun (cept diablo 2 and everquest).

Well, DC costs like $50 right? Even though they aren't making any more games for it, there is quite a selection of great games for the system... and they're all super cheap. I bought Shenmue for $15 used at Gamestop... If you have a lotta time to play games, I'd say get the DC... you get tons of entertainment for your money with it.

Dude I'm in the same situation as you,I'm suffering cold turkey as I'm in need of an RPG like Skies of Arcadia of Grandia those games were great on the DC (good thing I've still got mine), I'm not into the Baldur's Gate RPGs, so I hang on in there mate :)

DC of XBOX games? I'd say the XBOX games as I know that when the XBOX does an RPG in the same mould as Skies of Arcadia it's gonna be something special:D

I got my DC the day it came out... unfortunately, I also got my very first 3D accelator card for my computer around the same time... I was so stunned by the graphics on my computer that I never played my DC... But in many ways it's better that way, cuz now you can buy virtually any DC game for under $20.

In my opinion the DC is the 2nd best system ever made ( yes even better than ps1 or super ninetendo) It was my first experiance with on line games. Anyone played alien front online?
The rpgs were also some of the funest ever.


However That was the past and the Xbox is the now & the future
of gaming. So I would get spiderman my nephew,21 years old says
it kicks A$$ on the game cube and he usually only likes sports
games.So I would say that game would be even better on the
big black box of wonder.Just my opinion do what you want cuz
you have to live with your decision.

well, if you do deside to get a dreamcast, you have to buy a controller, and the games, taking prices from http://www.ebgames.com/ebx/default.asp the dreamcast is 70 bucks, and remember the dreamcast doesnt come with a controller, so thats another 14 bucks, skies of arcadia is 20, shenmue is 20 bucks, they dont have shenmue 2 or grandia 2
so lets say they are 20. lets see:
70
14
20

thats already over 100
