X-Box=Sega Dreamcast reborn?

**Player X³** · 02-25-2004, 05:15 PM

I see simularities between the X-Box and the Sega Dreamcast. Both consoles look better then the competitors(Gamecube, PS2). However...Dreamcast plays the CD-R discs and the X-Box doesn't. Do you know why that is?

Anyways I see X-Box as a more advanced version of Dreamcast.

even though it has good online capibilities like Dreamcast, and it's control pad looks a little like Dreamcast's, AND since Jet Set Radio and Shenmue sequals went on XBOX, i'd consider XBOX a nicknameed "Dreamcast 2" However, XBOX can do more then Dreamcast could do, and it's made by Microsoft.

Very true. And to think...I used to HATE Microsoft. But after owning the X-Box for free...it changed my views on it. Yeah...it deserves the nickname "Dreamcast 2"...

Well you see...it's not really "cubed"...it's X times 3. Meaning "triple X". So in other words...X³ is short for "Triple X". And since I am into video games, I picked the name "Player X³" because it sounds better then "Player 1".
