Mat: I am sure Dreamcast has much to offer.  But we - as consumers - need to do

is compare the initial games offered by Dreamcast with what Playstation 2 WILL

offer, not what the original Playstation offered.  Compare apples to apples.

Playstation 2 will be as potent and as powerful as Dreamcast - and with the many

software developers that have an existing relationships with Sony - the games

will be just as impressive as Dreamcasts'.  You wouldn't compare the games

offered on Super Nintendo with those offered on Nintendo 64...finally...these

machines were ALL over priced.  I paid $149 six years ago for my Super

Nintendo...and, Sony is doing the right thing by dropping the price of the

Playstation 1...if Playstation 2 allows you to play Playstation 1 games...that

can only mean more kiddies telling Dad that it makes sense to buy 'Playstation

2'...as they can play games they have bought for Playstation 1...which Dad will

recall paying £70 for in October...before Chrismo...
