Completely off-topic (sort of)

What we really need is a Dreamcast emulator playable on a PS2...

(only) reaons to buy an X-box?

I've read rumors of a Dreamcast compatible X-box. I guess it was denied by both Sega and Microsoft, but were it true, it would be a very compelling reason to think twice abou the X-box.

Because Jet Grind on the PS2 would be soooo cool. And I don't want to buy an X-box (even if it is going to have Jet Grind Future.)

I don't think number 2 is true, even though a lot of DC fans wouild like to believe that.

The PS2 may be more powerful, but it might not be powerful -enough- to correctly emulate a DC at decent speeds.

As far as the games, IMO Sega and Sony would both benefit from such an emulator, I could even see an official one released by Sega. Why? Because Sega could sell more games, without doing any more work (other than implementing the emu.) And all of a sudden Sony would have another couple hundred games for it's PS2 platform, above and beyond the 500+ PS1 games, and however many PS2 games there are now. In the console wars, such an occurence could really tilt the scales in Sony's favor.

It's nice to dream anyway. I realize that it's highly unlikely that it would ever come true.
