I agree... the DC will always live on with myself and several friends. The list of good games is insanely long for it's relatively short life.
To have so many excellent games and be less than a year and a half old (domestically) is quite a feat. So much potential... And though Sega has sworn to support it for the next year, I somehow doubt this will happen.
For myself though, they could stop releasing games on DC today and it would still be worth having. I'll never trade mine in for newer games.. in fact, I plan to buy a backup machine soon since the DC doesn't seem to be as hardy as the Saturn was
Viva la DC!
