Well, there was the Karaoke add on and theprototype Zip drive.

Isn't there a remix version on the ps2, new character or something and extras?
Never played it and up to this point owning a PS2 has been sacrilegious to me lol. I hear some slowdown, pixels drop during combat and other such abnormalities. Some say its not to bad. Depends if you want to pay 35ish for the DC version or $10 for the pS2 version.
Curtsy when you walk by that Dreamcast

Here's a link to one such idea. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/sega-a ... 0-2681885/
ah right the magazine mentioned that pricing model as well. Remember when you could get a rebate of the price of the system if you signed up for 2 years of SegaNet? I guess Sega was really interested in that idea going forward of basically paying for a service instead of for their hardware.

The one thing I wish is that the import shmups would go down in price. I can't afford those games.

Agreed. If I could pick up Border Down, Under Defeat, and Zero Gunner 2 I would be able to pretty much retire from Dreamcast collecting altogether.
