Man, some people are ignorant... YES, the DC *WILL* play VCD's. :) They just have to be formatted to play on a DC. You can get the info at dccopyworld.com

Its software based... and you cant use a "standard" vcd... but you can make VCD's that are compliant with the DC.

They sell a VCD player for the dreamcast for $30

I bought a VCD Boot disk for the dreamcast last week for just £5. You simply load up the disk, take it out and put in the vcd.
