I picked up my Dreamcast with a VMU and Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur, and House of the Dead 2 as soon as I possibly could, launch day, 9/9/99. I didn't pay attention in school that day. Hell, I slept dreaming dreams of playing Sonic. When I finally got it, I spent the rest of the night playing Sonic Adventure, Soul Calibur,. and HotD2. All were totally amazing in my eyes, and I had a fantastic time with each.
Oh yeah, it was also my birthday. :D
I heard some really bad horror stories on the PS2 launch. Haha. At least you didn't have some teenage hoodlums cut in line. :)
I picked up mine on launch morning with Sonic Adventure, Power Stone, and a VMU. The system; however, was defective. I'd get audio but no picture, ran right ack to the mall and got a replacement. After that, well, pure magic.
I got it on launch day with a VMU, Soul Calibur, and Sonic Adventure. I was so excited when I first played that system...
I didn't get around to picking up a Dreamcast until that $100CND mail-in-rebate was put into affect. I don't like spending more than $200 on hardware, but SEGA screwed me out of my rebate so I ended up paying $300 anyways. It was ultimately worth full price, but SEGA still owes me a hundred bucks.
Bought mine on launch day and hasn't given me any problems at all (and my DC gets worked).
Hmmm. Ah yes. After school, I went down to FuncoLand (closest place that said they'd be able to get me one on the 9th). Walked in, picked it up, a VMU, and SA.
...Then came the overnight sessions. And that following weekend, the World Rankings.
Ohhhhh yes. The World Rankings.
Brought home Sonic Adventure and Soul Calibur. What a glorious day it was.
I will always remember; I will never forget. . . 9/9.
Actually, I didn't really want a DC until a bit later in it's life, but now it's one of my favorite systems. Soo many great games.
I bought my DC the day after it came out but that's close enough. I had to return 7 or so defective Sonic Adventure games so I ended up getting Soul Calibur instead. I didn't get a fully-working Sonic Adventure until 4 months later.
