I was adamantly against them as when I was younger as I was squarely on PlayStation's side, but now I regret not buying one. From what I've seen they had some really cool games (Soul Calibur looks excelent, and there's a gap between Soul Blade and Soul Calibur II in my collection which needs filling). Anyone who says Dreamcasts are synonymous with failure don't know what they're talking about. Yes, it was the last console Sega did, but it didn't cause the failure - it was the last good thing they did before the failure happened.
