SEGA'S SECRET ANNOUNCEMENT LEAKED, MEGATON!

[Chux]

Dreamcast: 15 good games tops

Gamecube: 15-20 GG

Biff doesn't strike me as playing imports or fighting games, so I can actually see where this number comes from.

I hear [the CD grinding] sometimes in my system, too, but I've noticed that it only happens with certain games, in my case being Oblivion and Lost Odyssey. Other than those, every other game sounds normal. Thank goodness for the ability to rip the games onto the hard drive.

My 360 use to do that with some music cds.

On the topic of other systems besides the 360 breaking, I had a SNES that, after about seven years of great service, the video card started acting up (Vertical lines on everything). Also had a PS2 that would freeze...
Thankfully my launch Dreamcast is still okay, even though it no longer plays Sonic Adventure, for whatever reason.

Your DC is sentient and doesn't want to play poop games (Sonic).

My SNES has an issue with mode 7 graphics. Games that didn't use that feature worked fine though, but anything that scales using Mode 7 becomes a black line.

My launch DC died 2 weeks after the 1 year extended warranty expired. I took it to Walmart and got a replacement.

If you bought the $20 remote!

The PS2 didn't need a remote to play DVDs (The original Xbox did, though, and the sucker was $30).

You shore? I know you didn't need it for the slim, but the OG Fatbody PS2? The first ones?

Only had 2 systems die on me. 360, which wasnt bad because I got it back in a little over a week.

And DC which I thought was dead for years, it kept reseting a few minutes into gameplay. Recently I saw a super stupid fix on youtube. You literally set a cd case on top of the CD drive without closing it. It actually works too. Pretty funny. I missed my giga wing 2 and powerstones.

My intellivision and NES are still kicking.
