The DC, is a great machine, but Sony brainwashed the market and killed off the DC. It has some of the best games out for any console, and I still think it's better than the PS2. The PS2 is powerful, but it doesn't have the games to make it good yet. There are a ton of games on the DC that are worth getting, especially if you might just be buying one. Check out their NBA and NFL series, they totally destroy the EA series IMHO. Also Virtua Tennis is one of the most adictive games! Plus you've got a load of arcade games. It's a good buy, especially since it's cheap now.
