I love my DC. I actually have 2 of them. The second one purchased when they dropped in price to £50.

Thats cos the DC has 50 top games. I only have about 6 for my PS2, out of choice largely. (And cos i'm a student with PC hardware to keep up with... )

Such a shame it wasn't successful though, I bought mine on launch with Sonic adventure and remember thinking back to when I got my ps1 (also on launch, heh) that the same 'excitement' was around at the time, thought it'd do extremeley well.

Just thinking about it... that £50 deal makes buying a DC cheaper than a GBA... weird, and a bit sad for the DC really...

 

[wolfeeh]

heh, not as sad AS....

me not having actually played jet set radio yet...

The DC is a fantastic machine, I'd rather have one over an XBox anyday....

The only reason I'd buy a PS2 is GT3 and MGS2 and perhaps one or two other games...

But there are loads of l33t games on the DC, I love it to bits... Its a quality console made by the kings of console gaming

Now the GC looks set to r0x0r I hope, with Sega working on it it should have some real gems

The world has moved on from the DC and so should most of you lot.

I was going to buy a GC, but I've heard that Nintendo may lose RARE as a exclusive developer.. now I'm not sure

If you stuck a PS2 and DC with each of their top 30 games in front of me and asked me to chose one - I would take the DC.





I will save you the effort Bodhi mate:

Fuck off and die of aids Ono you retard.

Does it really matter?!!

Shit happens in the software industry.

Who would have imagined SEGA developing for Nintendo not long ago?

 

[Happy Go Lucky]

yeah .. RARE were on a downward slope anyway.. Nintendo will just replace them someone who makes their games on time.

I still have to agree completely. MGS2 really isn't that good either...

Long live the DC

 

[Skyler]

I agree also...

PS2 has some good games, but the DC has just as many if not more and its cheaper...

 

[Nibbler]

Agreed.

 

[bodhi]

I never wanted a DC tbh. It didn't seem to offer me anything my PSX didn't. And the controller was horrid.

 

[wolfeeh]

did anyone see

the console sales figures in japan on this website yesterday, i can't remember what sort of period it was for, but it went something like;

80,000 PS2's
7,000 PS1's
2,700 xbox's
and 3,900 DC's

those are just rough figures, but i am almost certain they are accurate...

a dead console is outselling the xbox. lol

and the PS1 is seven years old!

still, i am a fan of all consoles... /me proudly pats DC and PS2 under TV, hopefully to be joined by an xbox and a GC later this year...
