>Is anyone else here definitely getting a Dreamcast?

Oh my gosh yes definitely.  One look at Ecco the Dolphin at E3 
cinched it for me.  And the recent Shenmue videos from IGN just 
took my breath away.  I'm not sure if I'll get Sonic though since 
it left me somewhat flat when I played it.  Blue Stinger sounds
intriguing.  I hope it can live up to my expectations.

That being said, I'm not pre-ordering a DC.  I'll just wait until
I can pick one up in the store normally.  After all, Ecco and
Shenmue aren't launch titles.

I'm glad you mention Ready 2 Rumble as being disappointing.  I feel
the same way, but every review I read praises this game to no end.  
I played it a few times at E3 and I couldn't figure out if there 
was any strategy beyond mashing buttons.  You can't really 
anticipate your opponent's punches, and since you have to block 
high or low you'd only have a 50/50 chance of blocking it anyway.
Maybe someone can enlighten me.

Saw this at E3.  It actually looks entertaining!
