Hard to believe it's been nearly a decade since its initial release. Also a shame I can't speak Japanese...
So what do you think this is all about?

hehehe I still own mine. I couldn't guess whats going on with that however.
Still have mine, still use it for internet every now and again :)
I have two ,one hooked up normally and a second hooked up to an extra tv I put on its side just to play vertical shooters properly. I love that little system. I aways keep my eyes open at the thrift stores for them in case I kill one playing burnt discs.
I read that the site was a scam out to collect e-mail addresses or something..Quote:

Not sure what DP is, but I don't want to check out their thread.

If you don't wanna read about it on there then just go here:

I really would rather you just post your point here, on this forum. I don't feel like reading through 4 pages of a forum I care nothing about.

forgot to to the most basics of basics when looking into this, I didn't check if this site was still hosted by SEGA. So I pinged dreamcast.com and lo' and behold http://72.29.74.51/ was the IP I got. It links to a cPanel set up page. I then pinged SEGA.jp and got the IP 210.174.184.7, SEGA.com: 204.155.67.210, Sonic Team: 202.3.142.231. All SEGA sites are no where near the IP range of dreamcast.com. Running a trace on this IP brings us right back to square one with DimeNoc/dizinc.
http://www.ssukstudios.co.uk/_rubbis..._com_trace.htm for a report from http://visualiptrace.visualware.com/
SEGA.com is run from San Francisco under their own, internal servers. SEGA.jp and Sonicteam.com are run from inside Japan, as you'd expect.
So to sum up, it's a site not on ANY of SEGA's servers, it's supposedly a Japanese site running on a shared server in Orlando, emails set out are from a dizinc email address, uses Gmail as a front for a Dreamcast email address, the site poses as an official website (including copyright marks from SEGA). It's fake, don't use it. If you have used it, as a few of you have, hope this comes to nothing.
------
Emails sent from dreamcast.com are emails actually sent from a dizinc.com email address, which forwards instantly to DimeNoc. I believe DimeNoc are a hosting company and are actually just the service provider for this scam.
This hit Digg's front page an hour ago, which was plenty of time for the registration page to go down. Looks like the people behind this just missed a literal gold mine of email addresses. But they took the page down, probably after getting a certain number of emails anyway, which I'm sure will get sold on to some Viagra companies. Oh happy days. It was a very believable scam, however. One which even I fell for, let this be a lesson to you all. Don't trust the internet.
Just look at the last page, last post.
Itīs just a fake, definately not from Sega. Iīve read tons of posts about it in the internet yesterday. The e-mail-adress is incorrect, Sega does never post ads for outside stuff on their sites, itīs not hosted on the correct servers...
Why try to say what someone else has said better?Quote:

You'd think Sega would have kept the domain name to protect their property even if they didn't put any site up, its not like they cost much a year to keep.
Well, this is depressing.
I never owned one.
You can put whatever random crap you want in the serial no. box and still get an email address, so yeah - it's a scam.

So, here is the ultimate proof; Sega warns users....

Sega calls note, name of the "dream cast" was used, the "false sight"
