We were outside Electronics Boutique as customers queued to buy the first Dreamcasts available. Here are some of the thoughts of these early birds...

So who are you, then?
I'm Ben Meyers.

And what do you do?
I'm a student.

Have you pre-ordered your Dreamcast?
Yeah.

Why on earth are you standing in the cold outside Electronics Boutique at 6:50am?
[Laughs] I'm a dedicated gamer, I suppose...

Which games have you ordered for your Dreamcast?
Just Sega Rally.

What are you looking forward to most?
[Misconstruing question] The graphics.

Are you going to be using the modem at all?
I'm not really bothered about that - I've got one for my PC.

Have you seen Soul Calibur yet?
Yes. It doesn't look bad, but I'm not that bothered because I've got Soul Blade on the PlayStation. I'm mostly into racing games.

Really? How do you feel about the fact that, at present, the Dreamcast isn't really inundated with quality driving titles?
Well, I'm looking forward to Metropolis Street Racer.

But that's been delayed again.
Has it? Oh...

Finally, what do you think of the price-point? Is £200 a fair price for a new console?
It's alright...
