Waiting to find out whether or not this game will run on my system reminds me of the old Dreamcast days. It was always a crap shoot. You could bring a new game home and find that it would simply fail to load and you'd be stuck returning it. Those issues were uncommon enough that it didn't bother me, but it certainly kept me on edge. I remember buying Skies of Arcadia, popping in disc 1, and being disappointed that it would not read the game.

I then inserted disc 2, which loaded, and was prompted from that point to insert the first disc. I managed to play for about 10 minutes before it crashed, but after that point, disc 1 began to load properly and I never encountered another problem with the game. Go figure...
