I'm not saying it's a bad system, but I just don't think I'm ready for it just yet. What with all the PlayStation games coming out this year and Perfect Dark I just don't think I'll have the time and to even make use of the Dreamcast. That and since Code Veronica isn't expected until January 16, 2000. I even went as so far as to return my pre-orders for the DC system, Sonic Adventure, Powerstone, Soul Calibur, and Street Fighter Alpha 3, but heck, I really wanted to get Driver today. But it doesn't end with Driver. There's so many PlayStation games I still want to get this year; Ridge Racer Type 4, Final Fantasy 8, Final Fantasy Anthology, Jet Moto 3, Sled Storm, R-Type Delta, Resident Evil 3, Dino Crisis, Macross VF-X 2, Tony Hawk's Pro Skater, Gran Turismo 2, Arcade 12 Pack, Gauntlet Legends, Dukes of Hazzard, Spyro the Dragon 2, Konami Arcade Classics, and Perfect Dark for the N64. And even if half of these games are crap that's still a bunch of games that puts the Dreamcast on the back burner. What about any other would be Dreamcast buyers, is this year's fall line up giving anybody second thoughts about holding off on their DC purchase?
