It's the same here, whenever I start my Dreamcast it's something special. Even the DC intro screen and sounds are great I think. I made that sound my startup sound in windows too, hehe.
The other consoles I have don't feel special, I can't really explain why though. And it's a shame that people just buy hype. Now the media is doing the same thing again, Sony's handheld gets praised already by some journalists without them having a clue about how it will turn out exactly!
And we're not overestimating it at all I think. It has great features inside that for example PS2 doesn't have. But it doesn't really get credited for that by the masses. And noisy...ok, you may think so congo. But itt doesn't disturb me at all actually. I've never thought about it while playing.And every console has disadvantages. Some may find the Xbox too big. Or me for example, I think the PS2 takes a long time to start games for example.
It also annoys me that Sega has had a cam for the DC and maracas, microphone, fishing rod (!), online capabilities etc. But who cared? And now that the PS2 finally is online, people are like : waw! how great!
Too bad it had been done years before actually, just as all the other cool features...
