    E3 got you down? Nintendo’s Vitality not what you expected? Pick yourself up the hottest tech from before this nation’s long nightmare of war and prosperity – the Sega Dreamcast! Amazon has this thing new-in-box for $119.99 with free shipping, a tempting offer to any young man or woman whose love of Sonic is uneclipsed by a desire to breed.

    Some advice from the Amazon description:

    The Dreamcast system is, in a word, awesome. Fire up Soul Calibur, and instantly you’ll appreciate that the graphics and gameplay are even better than in the arcade version. And Sonic Adventure, with its light-speed gameplay, is sure to wow even the most jaded gamer.

    It’s amazing that such a small machine (it’s about the size of your mouse pad) can deliver such incredible performance. Chalk it up to superior engineering. Dreamcast’s only downside is that it comes with only one controller and a demo disc. In order to truly take advantage of Dreamcast’s capabilities, we recommend outfitting the controller with a Jump Pack and a Visual Memory Unit. Getting one or more extra controllers is also a good idea, because some of the best Dreamcast games support up to four players at once.

    Sonic Adventure will run you $39 while
