    I think you're mistaken, the DC only died in the retail channel. It's one of the best next gen consoles for longevity in the underground scene. There are loads of things you can do with it, from running netservers to porting different software to it.
    Not to mention it did have a great library of official games. Over/under-hype, piracy and bad marketting killed it for consumers, but that doesn't change the fact that the usability, hardware and games were truly good.

    sad thing is, most ebgames have sent their dc's back to the warehouse for sale on the website, so it's $20 with only one controller.

    though, i must say, i own 4 dreamcasts... one in active use and 3 are backups. never want to go through the great atari disaster of 1988 again. =]
