I ordered myself (and my dad) the VGA Box for the Dreamcast which allows you to play your Dreamcast games in 480i resolution on an HD TV and wow does the Dreamcast look great, even on my 46 LCD HDTV. Not all games support HD quality gaming but the majority do. A full (incomplete) list that shows what games do can be found here

Anyway, for those who have a Dreamcast, I really suggest getting this because your games will have just as good of resolution as Wii games, if not better. You'll also need to be sure you've got an S-Video cable and some audio cables (the white and red ones).

I got mine for $20 (and $5 shipping) on ebay and they seem to have a lot left:

Also note that you can play this on a PC Monitor using VGA (or a TV that supports VGA).

If you're using it on a TV, you'll also need to use S-Video cable for the video and than RCA for the audio.

This may seem like a noob question, but what's the difference between 480p and 480i?
