Xbox or Dreamcast

Xbox 19 17.59%
 
Dreamcast 86 79.63%

Is there a difference...does Dreamcast have HDD?
If no, go Xbox
If yes, go Dreamcast it has better controller.

I like both XBOX and Dreamcast. Id say Xbox because games like Conker, Phantom Dust, Halo, etc But Dreamcast also has Sonic Adventures 2 which was really good.

Gamecube would prob be the best pick though. Nintendo games age a lot better.




       

I would go for the N64 because you will find much more AAA games with high metacritc ratings on this system. With a Dreamcast however, you could play Shenmue & Skies of Arcadia.



Man, you could find a Dreamcast or Xbox for like $7 about now, can't you? Anyway, do you own an Xbox 360? It's backwards compatible with a lot of Xbox games. That may help you. As for me, I owned a Dreamcast and, at the time, it was an amazing system. Then came a time (still during the 6th gen) where, despite owning a TON of Dreamcast games, I came to a realization: Most of the good games for the Dreamcast were either ported to other consoles or got a superior sequel on other consoles.

Unless it's just about owning the console, see which games you want but don't have access to. Then make a smart decision.

Ah.  Go with the Dreamcast, then.  VMU and Seaman FTW!



Buy a Dreamcast since playing with Seaman is an unforgettable experience!

To find a Dreamcast with the box intact is somewhat rare I guess, I think I would have chosen that.



Yep.

I so want to. but the thing is i have just deposited money for a PS4... so after revaluating my budget i can only afford to go for one at $50, it might not seem much but new console purchases are not cheap.. $399 PS plus subscribtion, couple of games, I had to cancel one game (Knack) to fit dreamcast in... so I M on a really tight budget

well in US maybe.. but here in India 6 gen consoles are very rare beside Playstation's. So finding a DC or XB is very rare and that too in a pristing condition along with box and original accesories, its a steal.. and yes it just about owning a console right now. The thing is XBOX is not that rare compared to DC, so i m hoping that i would find one next month
