Interesting...it'd be cool to see the Dreamcast return, and Sega hardware with it. I think Yecti mentioned something about Sega getting into the hardware aspect of gaming once again in the RTfM show, but that may or may not have been edited out :p

We'll just have to wait and see I guess...could be pure BS.

Does SEGA stand for anything? Does anyone know?

Wiki does:

"Sega was originally founded in 1940 as Service Games in Honolulu, Hawaii, by Martin Bromely, Irving Bromberg, and James Humpert to provide coin-operated amusements for American servicemen on military bases. Bromely suggested that the company move to Tokyo, Japan in 1951 and in May 1952 "SErvice GAmes of Japan" was registered.

In 1954, another American businessman David Rosen fell in love with Tokyo and established his own company, Rosen Enterprises, Inc., in Japan to export art. When the company imported coin-operated instant photo booths, it stumbled on a surprise hit: The booths were very popular in Japan. Business was booming, and Rosen Enterprises expanded by importing coin-operated electro-mechanical games.

Rosen Enterprises and Service Games merged in 1965 to become Sega Enterprises.
"

I didn't actually know that. Interesting read.

I still have my old Dreamcast. It is such a great system. Sega just did a really bad job marketing it.
The tired anthem of a loser and a hypocrite.

Yea. DC rocked. If PS2 didn't have the prestige of PSone behind it, I think DC would have won that battle. (If not for any other reason than having a fishing pole controller.)

Having 2 fishing poles was Awesome. You could use them in Soul Calibur and swing them like swords. The things swung onscreen.
nope.

Haha, that's awsome. I wish I had tried that.

Same difference on the Saturn, I was saying if they both were released without prior establishment.
And yea, didn't think about the DVD.
I still think the DC was the better system though. I owned both and loved both, so I'm not putting down the Playsation.
