    The return of the Dreamcast!

    Word has is that the venerable Dreamcast could be making a reappearance... in Japan at least.
    Sega’s not flapping their yapper so far as we can tell, but German gaming site Gamefront.de is claiming they’re going to be re-releasing the frickin’ Dreamcast bundled with Radilgy and some limited edition telephone card or something. But our wish come true from the Ghost of Hackable Consoles Past will probably be Japan-only though, distributed through Sega Direct for ¥10,000 (about $83 US)
    [Engadget]

    Given that my most up to date console is a Saturn, perhaps I should take this opportunity to get back up to date?
    PHP Code:
    $s = new signature();
    $s->sarcasm()->intellect()->font('Courier New')->display();

    just read about that on Engadget, very cool. I'm betting it will be available on import if nothing else if the demand is there.

    generally 15 quid console only for a later model, the earlier ones go for more because of their CDR reading ability

    Theres still a demand for them, just look at the number being sold on ebay (almost no completeled items not sold for actaul consoles in good condition)...

    It is actually confirmed on the Segadirect.jp website. Here's the facts:

    The game is available on 16/2/2006 on its own, with a telephone card or with the telephone card and a Dreamcast.

    The Dreamcast is REFURBISHED and may have some marks on it because of this (but they claim it will be as good as a new one anyway).

    If it goes wrong within 2 weeks they will swap it for a 'new' one; after two weeks you can send it to be repaired, but not later than 31/3/2007.

    Only one DC per person.

    I think they're only selling the non-MIL CD version, so it should play CDs and Homebrew stuff (not 100% on this).

    Also they ask you not to buy it just for resale. ^_^

    Erm....is there a shortage of them then? Considering I could have bought a bloody Neo Geo for about £40 when I was in Japan, I can hardly believe there's not enough Dreamcasts to go round.

    Maybe I'd better snap up a couple of spares....

    I loved my Dreamcast it was the console that converted me to console gaming.

    It wasn't without fault though, but I enjoyed playing Shenmue, Skies of Arcadia and so many others.

    I still have mine! Has four working pads and an official lightgun, also got steering wheel and pedals and about 30 games, all original, although the jewel cases have nearly all broken. Looked good but what a stupid design they were. I think this should be a proper re-release at a bargain price and then let people develop for it from home, would sell really well and you would see some interesting stuff coming out for it. I love my DC (but not as much as my Saturn).
