Didn't own a Dreamcast myself, but I did get to play it every once in a while over at friends' places. Like AlexJ, I was holding out for the Playstation 2 (which was touted as being 'the best thing since sliced bread'). Didn't have enough dosh back then to get both, so I ended up with just one console in the previous generation.

What I remember fondly are the discussions I've had with Dreamcast fans over on the IGN boards. It seemed to me that Dreamcast fanboys were some of the most rabid there could be, and that rabidness carried over to the Xbox generation. Then again, I never frequented the Dreamcast and Xbox forums, so I don't really know how obnoxious the PS2 fanboys were
