Re: Debunk any Dreamcast Myths You Can Think of Thread.
5. is definitely a myth because I see it backwards all the time and with different reasoning's.
1. Here's a less specific one: playing cd-r's (burned games) will damage your dreamcast GD-ROM drive/laser/motor/?????!?!?!!!.
2. Sega will make another Dreamcast.

Simon Jeffery... not sure about him. Peter Moore... sucks that he had to pull the plug on DC.
That sucks you couldn't get a job at Sega, screw those mail room creepers.
Anyways we're getting off topic...

Simon Jeffery is a pathetic condescending rich mans son who has no people skills nor intellectual innovation what so ever.
As I said in my other thread anyone as pompous enough to call his own customers / fan base "Fanatics" should resign and be shown to the door.

Re: Debunk any Dreamcast Myths You Can Think of Thread.
Great topic, Smith. Here are my responses to the posts so far...
1. I like it, GPWASR10! My favorite link dispelling the PS2 vs Dreamcast war is on Youtube (below).
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxLLhwCx4cM
2. Smith - Yes, suits are not real people. It's like a billionaire trying understand why people can't afford new cars every year and what unemployment really is. Creativity comes from players and/or fans.
3. Funny stuff, Impulse! I believe Simon Jeffrey is still laughing about that "Sega will make another Dreamcast" thing...mostly when cashing his check!
4. Sega could care less if we feel "Humbugged" by them, mazonemayu (lol)!
5. TheCoolinator said it short and sweet, Simon Jeffrey should have been shown the door.
6. Gary_b, Radkin and I have come to the same conclusion, I have not seen a DC that has not played a CD-R.

Re: Debunk any Dreamcast Myths You Can Think of Thread.
I think that whole rumor was probably put out by Sega themselves to stop piracy.
There is also the myth that CD-R's make your Dreamcast break because it wears out the lazer. This is also hogwash.
