The Holiday season is past, and all you have to show for it is six pairs of argyles and a cassette tape of NSYNC's greatest hits. The popular (if not actual) millenium has come and gone, and there's no more partying like it's 1999. Didn't get what you wanted this Christmas? Feeling sad because Y2K turned out to be AOK? Are your polygon counts running low? We've got an idea on how you can get over those bad gift/end of the world blues. Come take a look at Sega's newest console, the DreamCast.

Yes, the DreamCast is a console, and at $199, it's inexpensive for new cutting edge console technology. For less than the cost of an SDR SDRAM GeForce, it plays games with speed and graphics quality that would take an $800 computer to match. But it's more than just a console. WindowsCE compatibility enables the DreamCast, with its included modem, to browse the web (note: get the keyboard first!) and communicate over the Internet. It's the hottest console on the market now, so if you didn't get what you wanted for the holidays, it could be just the thing to meet your hardware fix.
