NES emulators aren't even 100% accurate and the NES came out over two decades ago; nothing beats original hardware. And is he seriously complaining about the Dreamcast taking up too much room?! He must live in a shoe closet.

I guess I should dump my old and huge comic book collection. You know, I can just download them from the net!

My dreamcast sits on it's own special pillow in my entertainment center. There's not been a better console since.
