Hey DJ, people made a good discussion too I believe.

Interesting theories there dj. I would think Microsoft would have kept the SEGA name though rather than using their own. Mainly because Microsoft was not known for gaming at that point but SEGA was. Plus I think most SEGA fans at that time would have been more likely to buy a SEGA branded console than a Microsoft one.

Thanks for the suggestion about the Saturn 2. I'll keep that in mind but I'm not sure that's something I'd want to do. I don't want all my I'm Talking videos to be speculation. I just decided to do it for this one.

Just uploaded my latest video, an interactive look at the Dreamcast PC Preview disc that was included with issue #1 of the Official Dreamcast Magazine. Enjoy!

Ok cool 13.

I still don't get the "It's still thinking" launching motto/slogan in the English markets, does someone care to explain?

To me, "it's still thinking" means that it is slow in processing...

It's still thinking about how it's going to beat the competition or it could also mean it's not dead (if you're still thinking then obviously you're still alive). That's the way I think of it anyway.

I don't see how that can be a positive thing for the Dreamcast.
If you're (still) thinking on how to beat your competition, mostly it's because you don't have trumps to beat them. That's how I see it at least...

I understand that, but that only applies after the console was discontinued, and wasn't that phrase a slogan back in the launch days?

In Europe (Portugal at least) the slogan was "With more than a billion players connected worldwide" because every person with an internet connection around the world could be a possible Dreamcast online gamer, which in my opinion makes much more sense.

Not exactly. "It's still thinking" is a play on the original slogan which was "You know it's alive. Worst, it know's it's alive. It's thinking." Here's the original commercial:

Ok then, now that makes sense. Thank you
